event. Locking primitives that support this (mtx, rw, and sx) now each include their own foo_sleep() routine. - Rename msleep() to _sleep() and change it's 'struct mtx' object to a 'struct lock_object' pointer. _sleep() uses the recently added lc_unlock() and lc_lock() function pointers for the lock class of the specified lock to release the lock while the thread is suspended. - Add wrappers around _sleep() for mutexes (mtx_sleep()), rw locks (rw_sleep()), and sx locks (sx_sleep()). msleep() still exists and is now identical to mtx_sleep(), but it is deprecated. - Rename SLEEPQ_MSLEEP to SLEEPQ_SLEEP. - Rewrite much of sleep.9 to not be msleep(9) centric. - Flesh out the 'RETURN VALUES' section in sleep.9 and add an 'ERRORS' section. - Add __nonnull(1) to _sleep() and msleep_spin() so that the compiler will warn if you try to pass a NULL wait channel. The functions already have a KASSERT to that effect.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Reader/writer locks allow shared access to protected data by multiple threads,
|
|
or exclusive access by a single thread.
|
|
The threads with shared access are known as
|
|
.Em readers
|
|
since they only read the protected data.
|
|
A thread with exclusive access is known as a
|
|
.Em writer
|
|
since it can modify protected data.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Although reader/writer locks look very similar to
|
|
.Xr sx 9
|
|
locks, their usage pattern is different.
|
|
Reader/writer locks can be treated as mutexes (see
|
|
.Xr mutex 9 )
|
|
with shared/exclusive semantics.
|
|
Unlike
|
|
.Xr sx 9 ,
|
|
an
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can be locked while holding a non-spin mutex, and an
|
|
.Nm
|
|
cannot be held while sleeping.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
locks have priority propagation like mutexes, but priority
|
|
can be propagated only to an exclusive holder.
|
|
This limitation comes from the fact that shared owners
|
|
are anonymous.
|
|
Another important property is that shared holders of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can recurse,
|
|
but exclusive locks are not allowed to recurse.
|
|
.Ss Macros and Functions
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fn rw_init "struct rwlock *rw" "const char *name"
|
|
Initialize structure located at
|
|
.Fa rw
|
|
as reader/writer lock, described by name
|
|
.Fa name .
|
|
The description is used solely for debugging purposes.
|
|
This function must be called before any other operations
|
|
on the lock.
|
|
.It Fn rw_rlock "struct rwlock *rw"
|
|
Lock
|
|
.Fa rw
|
|
as a reader.
|
|
If any thread holds this lock exclusively, the current thread blocks,
|
|
and its priority is propagated to the exclusive holder.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn rw_rlock
|
|
function can be called when the thread has already acquired reader
|
|
access on
|
|
.Fa rw .
|
|
This is called
|
|
.Dq "recursing on a lock" .
|
|
.It Fn rw_wlock "struct rwlock *rw"
|
|
Lock
|
|
.Fa rw
|
|
as a writer.
|
|
If there are any shared owners of the lock, the current thread blocks.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn rw_wlock
|
|
function cannot be called recursively.
|
|
.It Fn rw_runlock "struct rwlock *rw"
|
|
This function releases a shared lock previously acquired by
|
|
.Fn rw_rlock .
|
|
.It Fn rw_wunlock "struct rwlock *rw"
|
|
This function releases an exclusive lock previously acquired by
|
|
.Fn rw_wlock .
|
|
.It Fn rw_try_upgrade "struct rwlock *rw"
|
|
Attempt to upgrade a single shared lock to an exclusive lock.
|
|
The current thread must hold a shared lock of
|
|
.Fa rw .
|
|
This will only succeed if the current thread holds the only shared lock on
|
|
.Fa rw ,
|
|
and it only holds a single shared lock.
|
|
If the attempt succeeds
|
|
.Fn rw_try_upgrade
|
|
will return a non-zero value,
|
|
and the current thread will hold an exclusive lock.
|
|
If the attempt fails
|
|
.Fn rw_try_upgrade
|
|
will return zero,
|
|
and the current thread will still hold a shared lock.
|
|
.It Fn rw_downgrade "struct rwlock *rw"
|
|
Convert an exclusive lock into a single shared lock.
|
|
The current thread must hold an exclusive lock of
|
|
.Fa rw .
|
|
.It Fn rw_sleep "void *chan" "struct rwlock *rw" "int priority" "const char *wmesg" "int timo"
|
|
Atomically release
|
|
.Fa rw
|
|
while waiting for an event.
|
|
For more details on the parameters to this function,
|
|
see
|
|
.Xr sleep 9 .
|
|
.It Fn rw_initialized "struct rwlock *rw"
|
|
This function returns non-zero if
|
|
.Fa rw
|
|
has been initialized, and zero otherwise.
|
|
.It Fn rw_destroy "struct rwlock *rw"
|
|
This functions destroys a lock previously initialized with
|
|
.Fn rw_init .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa rw
|
|
lock must be unlocked.
|
|
.It Fn rw_wowned "struct rwlock *rw"
|
|
This function returns a non-zero value if the current thread owns an
|
|
exclusive lock on
|
|
.Fa rw .
|
|
.It Fn rw_assert "struct rwlock *rw" "int what"
|
|
This function allows assertions specified in
|
|
.Fa what
|
|
to be made about
|
|
.Fa rw .
|
|
If the assertions are not true and the kernel is compiled
|
|
with
|
|
.Cd "options INVARIANTS"
|
|
and
|
|
.Cd "options INVARIANT_SUPPORT" ,
|
|
the kernel will panic.
|
|
Currently the following assertions are supported:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv RA_UNLOCKED"
|
|
.It Dv RA_LOCKED
|
|
Assert that current thread holds either a shared or exclusive lock
|
|
of
|
|
.Fa rw .
|
|
.It Dv RA_RLOCKED
|
|
Assert that current thread holds a shared lock of
|
|
.Fa rw .
|
|
.It Dv RA_WLOCKED
|
|
Assert that current thread holds an exclusive lock of
|
|
.Fa rw .
|
|
.It Dv RA_UNLOCKED
|
|
Assert that current thread holds neither a shared nor exclusive lock of
|
|
.Fa rw .

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
These

|
functions appeared in
|
|
.Fx 7.0 .
|
|
.Sh AUTHORS
|
|
.An -nosplit
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
facility was written by
|
|
.An "John Baldwin" .
|
|

|
|
.An "Gleb Smirnoff" .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
If
|
|
.Dv WITNESS
|
|
is not included in the kernel,
|
|
then it is impossible to assert that the current thread does or does not
|
|
hold a read lock.
|
|
In the
|
|
.Pf non- Dv WITNESS
|
|
case, the
|
|
.Dv RA_LOCKED
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv RA_RLOCKED
|
|
assertions merely check that some thread holds a read lock.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Reader/writer is a bit of an awkward name.
|
|
An
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can also be called a
|
|
.Dq Robert Watson
|
|
lock if desired.
