This option just adds complexity and the new implementation no longer will support it, so axing it now that it is unused is probabilly the better idea. FreeBSD version is bumped in order to reflect the KPI breakage introduced by this patch. In the ports tree, kris found that only old OSKit code uses it, but as it is thought to work only on 2.x kernels serie, version bumping will solve any problem.

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn lockinit
|
|
function is used to initialize a lock.
|
|
It must be called before any operation can be performed on a lock.
|
|
Its arguments are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Fa wmesg"
|
|
.It Fa lkp
|
|
A pointer to the lock to initialize.
|
|
.It Fa prio
|
|
The priority passed to
|
|
.Xr sleep 9 .
|
|
.It Fa wmesg
|
|
The lock message.
|
|
This is used for both debugging output and
|
|
.Xr sleep 9 .
|
|
.It Fa timo
|
|
The timeout value passed to
|
|
.Xr sleep 9 .
|
|
.It Fa flags
|
|
The flags the lock is to be initialized with.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv LG_CANRECURSE"
|
|
.It Dv LK_NOWAIT
|
|
Do not sleep while acquiring the lock.
|
|
.It Dv LK_SLEEPFAIL
|
|
Fail after a sleep.
|
|
.It Dv LK_CANRECURSE
|
|
Allow recursive exclusive locks.
|
|
.It Dv LK_NOSHARE
|
|
Allow exclusive locks only.
|
|
.It Dv LK_TIMELOCK
|
|
Use
|
|
.Fa timo
|
|
during a sleep; otherwise, 0 is used.
|
|
.El
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn lockdestroy
|
|
function is used to destroy a lock, and while it is called in a number of
|
|
places in the kernel, it currently does nothing.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn lockcount
|
|
function returns a count of the number of exclusive locks and shared locks
|
|
held against the lock
|
|
.Fa lkp .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn lockmgr
|
|
function handles general locking functionality within the kernel, including
|
|
support for shared and exclusive locks, and recursion.
|
|
.Fn lockmgr
|
|
is also able to upgrade and downgrade locks.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Its arguments are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Fa interlkp"
|
|
.It Fa lkp
|
|
A pointer to the lock to manipulate.
|
|
.It Fa flags
|
|
Flags indicating what action is to be taken.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv LK_CANRECURSE"
|
|
.It Dv LK_SHARED
|
|
Acquire a shared lock.
|
|
If an exclusive lock is currently held, it will be downgraded.
|
|
.It Dv LK_EXCLUSIVE
|
|
Acquire an exclusive lock.
|
|
If an exclusive lock is already held, and
|
|
.Dv LK_CANRECURSE
|
|
is not set, the system will
|
|
.Xr panic 9 .
|
|
.It Dv LK_DOWNGRADE
|
|
Downgrade exclusive lock to a shared lock.
|
|
Downgrading a shared lock is not permitted.
|
|
If an exclusive lock has been recursed, all references will be downgraded.
|
|
.It Dv LK_UPGRADE
|
|
Upgrade a shared lock to an exclusive lock.
|
|
If this call fails, the shared lock is lost.
|
|
During the upgrade, the shared lock could
|
|
be temporarily dropped.
|
|
Attempts to upgrade an exclusive lock will cause a
|
|
.Xr panic 9 .
|
|
.It Dv LK_RELEASE
|
|
Release the lock.
|
|
Releasing a lock that is not held can cause a
|
|
.Xr panic 9 .
|
|
.It Dv LK_DRAIN
|
|
Wait for all activity on the lock to end, then mark it decommissioned.
|
|
This is used before freeing a lock that is part of a piece of memory that is
|
|
about to be freed.
|
|
(As documented in
|
|
.In sys/lockmgr.h . )
|
|
.It Dv LK_SLEEPFAIL
|
|
Fail if operation has slept.
|
|
.It Dv LK_NOWAIT
|
|
Do not allow the call to sleep.
|
|
This can be used to test the lock.
|
|
.It Dv LK_CANRECURSE
|
|
Allow recursion on an exclusive lock.
|
|
For every lock there must be a release.
|
|
.It Dv LK_INTERLOCK
|
|
Unlock the interlock (which should be locked already).
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Fa interlkp
|
|
An interlock mutex for controlling group access to the lock.
|
|
If
|
|
.Dv LK_INTERLOCK
|
|
is specified,
|
|
.Fn lockmgr
|
|
assumes
|
|
.Fa interlkp
|
|
is currently owned and not recursed, and will return it unlocked.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr mtx_assert 9 .
|
|
.It Fa td
|
|
A thread responsible for this call.
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
becomes
|
|
.Dv LK_KERNPROC .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn lockstatus
|
|
function returns the status of the lock in relation to the
|
|
.Vt thread
|
|
passed to it.
|
|
Note that if
|
|
.Fa td
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
and an exclusive lock is held,
|
|
.Dv LK_EXCLUSIVE
|
|
will be returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn lockmgr_printinfo
|
|
function prints debugging information about the lock.
|
|
It is used primarily by
|
|
.Xr VOP_PRINT 9
|
|
functions.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn lockcount
|
|
function returns an integer greater than or equal to zero.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn lockmgr
|
|
function returns 0 on success and non-zero on failure.
|
|
.Pp
|
|

|
|
.Fn lockstatus
|
|
function returns:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv LK_EXCLUSIVE"
|

|
|
An exclusive lock is held by the thread
|
|
.Fa td .

.Fa td .

|
|
.It Li 0
|
|
The lock is not held by anyone.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Fn lockmgr
|
|
fails if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EBUSY
|
|
.Dv LK_FORCEUPGRADE
|
|
was requested and another thread had already requested a lock upgrade.
|
|
.It Bq Er EBUSY
|
|
.Dv LK_NOWAIT
|
|
was set, and a sleep would have been required.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOLCK
|
|
.Dv LK_SLEEPFAIL
|
|
was set and
|
|
.Fn lockmgr
|
|
did sleep.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINTR
|
|
.Dv PCATCH
|
|
was set in the lock priority, and a signal was delivered during a sleep.
|
|
Note the
|
|
.Er ERESTART
|
|
error below.
|
|
.It Bq Er ERESTART
|
|
.Dv PCATCH
|
|
was set in the lock priority, a signal was delivered during a sleep,
|
|
and the system call is to be restarted.
|
|
.It Bq Er EWOULDBLOCK
|
|
a non-zero timeout was given, and the timeout expired.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh LOCKS
|
|
If
|
|
.Dv LK_INTERLOCK
|
|
is passed in the
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
argument to
|
|
.Fn lockmgr ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Fa interlkp
|
|
must be held prior to calling
|
|
.Fn lockmgr ,
|
|
and will be returned unlocked.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Upgrade attempts that fail result in the loss of the lock that
|
|
is currently held.
|
|
Also, it is invalid to upgrade an
|
|
exclusive lock, and a
|
|
.Xr panic 9
|
|
will be the result of trying.
