That's true - i already prepared the thread management for that. The
current lock could be renamed to the dispatcher lock - when
inserting/removing threads from a process, the process should be just
locked during the action. I have written a patch for the process locking
mechanism that win2k uses - but Alex prefers to "upgrade" to xp and use
pushlocks which aren't implemented yet.
P.S. The thread dispatching that is currently in Ps
should be moved to
Ke.
I agree, and not just that, also everything that has to do with the
KTHREAD/KPROCESS structures should be moved there.
