The code begins -at `hurd/pfinet/ethernet.c`, `ethernet_open()`, the `device_open` call, which -produces `edev->ether_port`. Basically, one needs to catch errors like EIEIO -when using it, and in that case re-open the device. -See also the notes on [[hurd/translator/pfinet/implementation]], *Bugs*, *IRC, -freenode, #hurd, 2013-09-03*. * Add a futex kernel trap to GNU Mach. This can be useful for nicer locking primitives, including inter-process primitives. `vm_allocate` can be used as an example in the `gnumach` source tree for how to add a kernel trap.
