|
|
.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 msleep 9 .
|
|
.It Fa wmesg
|
|
The lock message.
|
|
This is used for both debugging output and
|
|
.Xr msleep 9 .
|
|
.It Fa timo
|
|
The timeout value passed to
|
|
.Xr msleep 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_EXCLUPGRADE"
|
|
.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_EXCLUPGRADE
|
|
Upgrade a shared lock to an exclusive lock.
|
|
Fails with
|
|
.Er EBUSY
|
|
if there is someone ahead of you in line waiting for an upgrade.
|
|
If this call fails, the shared lock is lost.
|
|
Attempts to upgrade an exclusive lock will cause a
|
|
.Xr panic 9 .
|
|
.It Dv LK_UPGRADE
|
|
Upgrade a shared lock to an exclusive lock.
|
|
If this call fails, the shared lock is lost.
|
|
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 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

|
|
.Fn lockcount
|

|
|
function returns 0 on success and non-zero on failure.
|
|
.Pp

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

|
|
.Fa td .

|
|
.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.
