Sure, but this function is absolutely crackers. All it does is to dynamically allocate and initialise a spinlock. But the storage for the pointer-to-spinlock is the same as, or larger than the spinlock itself. This thing has to die - please kill it before it spreads. The spinlock should be aggregated by value into the containing structure.
