I added semphore locking code to the vfs interface to protect
non-reenetrant filesystems (such as TOSFS and old xfs) to protect they
against data corruption due to nonblocking operations.

As Spin call back the vfs interface it simply deadlock against itself.
That is the problem that this thread started.
