Re: locking in smsd

[alonso acuña]

Hi. Perhaps smsd or whatever other process could just wait until the lock is released? With a timeout setting and some checks to detect and remove stale locks.

Which process is the phone daemon? I did not understand that part.

And what should it do when other process did claim the lock? No,
that's not the way to go.

The proper solution is to have the phone daemon that manages
communication with the phone and apps talk to this daemon but nobody
had time to implement this for few years already.

take care,
