Sample Multithreaded Module With Outer Perimeter

Example 61, Multithread Module with Outer Perimeter is a sample multithreaded, loadable STREAMS module. The module MT design is a relatively simple one, based on a per queue-pair inner perimeter plus an outer perimeter. The inner perimeter protects per-instance data structure (accessed through the q_ptr field) and the module global data is protected by the outer perimeter. The outer perimeter is configured so that the open and close routines have exclusive access to the outer perimeter. This is necessary because they both modify the global-linked list of instances. Other routines that modify global data are run as qwriter(9F) callbacks, giving them exclusive access to the whole module.
