Why need not to PROC_UNLOCK() in kthread_suspend()/kproc_suspend()?

Hi Guys,

In file sys/kern/kern_kthread.c (
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/sys/kern/kern_kthread.c),
the PROC_LOCK() and PROC_UNLOCK() are used in pairs in one function except
function kthread_suspend()/kproc_suspend() (
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/sys/kern/kern_kthread.c#L177).
In these two functions, there is only PROC_LOCK(). I checked may related
function(such as kproc_resume()) and can not find PROC_UNLOCK() to pair the
one resided in kproc_suspend().  Why need not PROC_UNLOCK() to pair
PROC_LOCK() in kproc_suspend()/kthread_suspend()? Thanks!


regards,
Jinjun
