What's an "MPSAFE" driver need to do?
I'm looking at writing driver code for 5.2. A few manpages (notably
selinit(9) and other aliases for the same page) speak of "non-MPSAFE
drivers", but I have been unable to find what a driver has to do in
order to be MPSAFE - nor for that matter how it is that drivers are or
aren't marked as MPSAFE, though the latter I may be able to figure out
(mostly meaning, if I can find and identify the relevant kernel code).
Did I miss something, or is this just not documented?
