Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [gedmurphy] 70408: [NTOSKRNL] - Raise the IRQL when enumerating device lists so it doesn't get edited mid-listing - Don't hardcode the pointer size when checking the buffer size

[Hermès BÉLUSCA - MAÏTO]

Also in NT6+, the kernel seems to always be multiprocessor. And yes, the
KeAcquire(queued)SpinLock becomes KeRaiseIrql in a SP kernel. Finally, directly using the
correct function (AcquireSpinLock) would be better to know have to hack again the kernel
to add support for MP afterwards. Better do it correctly now.

To answer Ged's worry, I don't think here people would get angry, since that
spinlock is also used there:
https://git.reactos.org/?p=reactos.git&a=search&h=HEAD&st=grep&…
(see iomgr/file.c and volume.c) .

I think this might be an SP/MP difference?
Would make sense if KeAcquireSpinLock inside an SP kernel becomes KeRaiseIrql. But even
for a 2003 MP kernel this would serve no purpose.
