Yep, and ups' r173444 change didn't affect this at all, it just
corrected the table.
If I don't hear otherwise I'll merge the changes to the table to 7
sometime soon:
You have: You want: Spin_mtx Slp_mtx sx_lock rw_lock sleep
- SPIN mutex ok no no no no-3
+ SPIN mutex ok-1 no no no no-3
Sleep mutex ok ok-1 no ok no-3
- sx_lock ok no ok-2 no ok-4
+ sx_lock ok ok ok-2 ok ok-4
rw_lock ok ok no ok-2 no-3
Have SPIN / want SPIN adds the "Recursion is defined per lock" footnote.
Have sx / want Slp & have sx / want rw change from no to ok.
