.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These macros implement lock elision wrappers for a user-specified single-argument
|
|
lock interface. The wrappers will attempt to elide lock acquisition, allowing
|
|
concurrent execution of critical sections that do not issue conflicting memory
|
|
operations. If any threads have successfully elided a lock acquisition,
|
|
conflicting memory operations will roll-back any side-effects of the critical
|
|
section and force every thread to retry the lock acquisition regularly.
|
|
|
|
.Fn CK_ELIDE_LOCK 3
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn CK_ELIDE_UNLOCK 3
|
|
functions require
|
|
a previous
|
|
.Fn CK_ELIDE_PROTOTYPE 3
|
|
with the same
|
|
.Fa NAME .
|
|
Elision is attempted if the
|
|
.Fa LOCK_PREDICATE
|
|
function returns false. If
|
|
.Fa LOCK_PREDICATE
|
|
returns true then elision is aborted and
|
|
.Fa LOCK_FUNCTION
|
|
is executed instead. If any threads are in an elided critical section,
|
|
.Fa LOCK_FUNCTION
|
|
must force them to rollback through a conflicting memory operation.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa UNLOCK_PREDICATE
|
|
function must return true if the lock is acquired by the caller, meaning
|
|
that the lock was not successfully elided. If
|
|
.Fa UNLOCK_PREDICATE
|
|
returns true, then the
|
|
.Fa UNLOCK_FUNCTION
|
|
is executed. If RTM is unsupported (no CK_F_PR_RTM macro) then
|
|
.Fn CK_ELIDE_LOCK 3
|
|
will immediately call
|
|
.Fn LOCK_FUNCTION
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn CK_ELIDE_UNLOCK 3
|
|
will immediately call
|
|
.Fn UNLOCK_FUNCTION .
|
|
|
|
.Fn CK_ELIDE_TRYLOCK 3
|
|
requires a previous
|
|
.Fn CK_ELIDE_TRYLOCK_PROTOTYPE 3
|
|
with the same name.
|
|
Elision is attempted if the
|
|
.Fa LOCK_PREDICATE
|
|
function returns false. If
|
|
.Fa LOCK_PREDICATE
|
|
returns true or if elision fails then the
|
|
operation is aborted. If RTM is unsupported
|
|
(no CK_F_PR_RTM macro) then
|
|
.Fn CK_ELIDE_TRYLOCK 3
|
|
will immediately call
|
|
.Fn TRYLOCK_FUNCTION 3 .
|
|
|
|
Both ck_spinlock.h and ck_rwlock.h both define
|
|
ck_elide wrappers under the ck_spinlock and ck_rwlock
|
|
namespace, respectively.
