If you look at the text: ACQUIRING FUNCTIONS ------------------- The Linux kernel has a number of locking constructs: (*) spin locks (*) R/W spin locks (*) mutexes (*) semaphores (*) R/W semaphores It's specifically talking about locking functions that the kernel provides - or are we calling the spin acquires and R/W spin acquires now? "Locking" is the key that people referring to the document are going to use. David
