Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] qrwlock: Optionally enable classic read/write lock behavior
Date: Wed, 24 Jul 2013 16:12:26 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1374696746-40184-4-git-send-email-Waiman.Long@hp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1374696746-40184-1-git-send-email-Waiman.Long@hp.com>
By default, queue read/write lock is fair with respect to both the
readers and writers. However, there are situations where a bias
towards readers can increase throughput especially for reader-heavy
situations. There may also be cases where deviation from the classic
read/write lock behavior may cause problem like recursive read lock
in an interrupt handler with a waiting writer. Using the classic
behavior, however, will cause the queue read/write lock to lose some
of the fairness attribute that it has.
This patch enables lock owners to decide what behavior do they want
for their read/write lock by using the appropriate initializer. Two
types of initializers will be provided:
1. Default - fair to both readers and writers
2. Classic - readers that come after a waiting writer can steal
the lock
The classic initializers have a "_classic" suffix. If the queue
read/write lock feature is not enabled, the classic initializer will
be the same as the default initializer.
