If this is about a race for SDR, don't we need a lock to protect the mBusy state?

What happens to the callers that will get NS_ERROR_IN_PROGRESS? Will they retry or fail?

Are multiple calls to SDR originate from multiple threads, or from event processing on a single thread?

If they originate from multiple threads, maybe we could use a condition variable, block if busy, and signal once done?

If they originated from a single thread (and spinning the event loop), it's probably more difficult to have them retry as soon as we're no longer busy.
