Subject: isolation of NFS threads ?

Hey,
How does nfs maintain the isolation between multiple threads.That is when one nfs thread is running how does it avoid other nfs threads from running. This is achieved in BSD using the splxxx() functions. But in LINUX i do not see any similare function which handles this.
Or more generally how does the LINUX kernel, lower and raise the interrupt level it is currently working on? How does it apply to NFS ?

Waiting for reply,

rgds,
Kedar.

Hi

We had a lot of SUN machines and just installed few linux machines.We
have all our licenses/Softwares of Solaris m/cs( NIS also on Solaris).But
