>From the understang Linix Kernel book, it states that lock_kernel() and unlock_kernel() works on a spin lock called kernel_flag, which is mainly used to protect a wide vieriety of data structures including VFS/file handling, data structures related to networking, IPC structures, and several less important kernel data structrues. It states that not all the kernel data structures are protected by specific spin locks. With 2.2 it introduced many single ( smaller ) spin locks to have more concurrency.
