       KS_HOLD0LOCKS(D3)                                  KS_HOLD0LOCKS(D3)


       NAME
             KS_HOLD0LOCKS - determine if the current context holds no
             basic or read/write locks

       SYNOPSIS
             #include <sys/types.h>
             #include <sys/ksynch.h>
             #include <sys/ddi.h>
             bool_t KS_HOLD0LOCKS(lock_t *lock);

          Arguments
             None.

       DESCRIPTION
             Determine if the current context holds no basic or read/write
             locks.

          Return Values
             KS_HOLD0LOCKS returns TRUE if the current context owns no
             basic or read/write locks and FALSE otherwise.  However, locks
             are only counted if the files in which they are allocated and
             acquired were compiled with DEBUG and _LOCKTEST defined.

       USAGE
             The KS_HOLD0LOCKS function is designed to assist in the
             debugging of driver code. Production versions of drivers
             should avoid calling this function (via use of conditional
             compilation under DEBUG).

          Level
             Initialization, Base or Interrupt if flag is set to
             KM_NOSLEEP.

          Warnings
             The meaning of the current calling context is specific to the
             implementation of the operating system kernel.  Depending upon
             the operating system implementation, when KS_HOLD0LOCKS is
             called from an interrupt routine, it may or may not return
             TRUE when that interrupt routine is not holding any locks, but
             some underlying level (base or interrupt level) is holding
             some lock.

          Synchronization Constraints
             Driver-defined basic locks, read/write locks, and sleep locks
             may be held across calls to this function
