    hello all,

    I am working on a modem device driver which would run on both
    Uniprocessor and multiplrocessor systems based on Linux. I am using
    spinlocks for concurrency. I have tested it on uniprocessor machine and
    its working fine. I want to ask what things i should look for in case
    of SMP machines as i dont have a SMP machine so couldnot actual load
    test the code.

    Any pointer would help.

    Thanks,

    nikhil
