.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
A family of busy-wait spinlock implementations. The ck_spinlock_t implementation is simply
|
|
a wrapper around the fetch-and-swap (ck_spinlock_fas_t) implementation. The table below
|
|
provides a summary of the current implementations.

|
|
ck_spinlock_anderson Anderson Array Fixed number of threads Yes
|
|
ck_spinlock_cas Compare-and-Swap Centralized None No
|
|
ck_spinlock_clh Craig, Landin and Hagersten Queue Lifetime requirements Yes

ck_spinlock_dec Decrement (Linux kernel) Centralized UINT_MAX concurrency No
|
|
ck_spinlock_fas Fetch-and-store Centralized None No
|

ck_spinlock_mcs Mellor-Crummey and Scott Queue None Yes
|
|
ck_spinlock_ticket Ticket Centralized None Yes

.Pp
|
|
If contention is low and there is no hard requirement for starvation-freedom
|
|
then a centralized greedy (unfair) spinlock is recommended. If contention is
|
|
high and there is no requirement for starvation-freedom then a centralized
|
|
greedy spinlock is recommended to be used with an exponential backoff
|
|
mechanism. If contention is generally low and there is a hard requirement for
|
|
starvation-freedom then the ticket lock is recommended. If contention is high
|
|
and there is a hard requirement for starvation-freedom then the Craig and
|
|
Landin and Hagersten queue spinlock is recommended unless stack allocation is
|
|
necessary or NUMA factor is high, in which case the Mellor-Crummey and Scott
|
|
spinlock is recommended. If you cannot afford O(n) space-usage from array
|
|
or queue spinlocks but still require fairness under high contention then
|
|
the ticket lock with proportional back-off is recommended.
|
|
If NUMA factor is high but prefer a greedy lock, then please see
|
