The "synchronousLock" is a per-port epicsMutex. synchchronousLock:Yes means that the mutex is currently being held by some thread. The synchronousLock is used to protect code in several places, including when a synchronous driver (i.e. one created without the ASYN_CANBLOCK attribute) calls the client callback. It is also the mutex that is used by pasynManager-lockPort().
There is one other per-port mutex used by asyn which is called asynManagerLock. I have looked at the asyn code carefully and I believe that asynManagerLock and synchronousLock are always locked/unlocked properly.
Brian, can you please send your StreamDevice protocol file? Also, are you using the standard asyn IP driver, or are you using some other asyn port driver?
Mark

I am not an expert of the internals of asyn. What does
"synchronousLock:Yes" mean?
