Hi,

I have a shared buffer between user application and kernel. Kernel
writes in to this buffer and at the same time user reads the data and
update the buffer pointers.
I want to provide a mutual exclusion for this read and write.
Is there anyway to provide a mutual exclusion between kernel and user
application?
We are designing this application to run on multi-processor system.


Thanks in Advance
