I'm reading inet_drv.c, and came across this comment (R13B):

/*
  * XXX
  * The erts_smp_spin_* functions should not be used by drivers (but this
  * driver is special). Replace when driver locking api has been 
implemented.
  * /rickard
  */
#define BUFSTK_LOCK     erts_smp_spin_lock(&inet_buffer_stack_lock);
#define BUFSTK_UNLOCK   erts_smp_spin_unlock(&inet_buffer_stack_lock);


It may not matter much, but...
Hasn't the driver locking api been implemented now?

BR,
