If it doesn't you don't know after a succesful > call of mutex_tryenter() whether you should call mutex_exit() or not. In case of recursive call, mutex_exit() just decrements recursion counter. For recursive locks I'd expect trylock always succeeds if lock is already held. -- Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheel.pl pjd%FreeBSD.org@localhost http://www.FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer Am I Evil?
