Detailed Description

RTE MCS lock

This file defines the main data structure and APIs for MCS queued lock.

The MCS lock (proposed by John M. Mellor-Crummey and Michael L. Scott) provides scalability by spinning on a CPU/thread local variable which avoids expensive cache bouncings. It provides fairness by maintaining a list of acquirers and passing the lock to each CPU/thread in the order they acquired the lock.

Definition in file rte_mcslock.h.

Typedef Documentation

typedef struct rte_mcslock rte_mcslock_t

The rte_mcslock_t type.

Function Documentation

static void rte_mcslock_lock (1(rte_mcslock_t *) * msl, rte_mcslock_t * me) [inline], [static]

Take the MCS lock.

Parameters:

msl A pointer to the pointer of a MCS lock. When the lock is initialized or declared, the msl pointer should be set to NULL.
me A pointer to a new node of MCS lock. Each CPU/thread acquiring the lock should use its 'own node'.

Definition at line 52 of file rte_mcslock.h.

static void rte_mcslock_unlock (1(rte_mcslock_t *) * msl, 1(rte_mcslock_t *) me) [inline], [static]

Release the MCS lock.

Parameters:

msl A pointer to the pointer of a MCS lock.
me A pointer to the node of MCS lock passed in rte_mcslock_lock.

Definition at line 104 of file rte_mcslock.h.

static int rte_mcslock_trylock (1(rte_mcslock_t *) * msl, rte_mcslock_t * me) [inline], [static]

Try to take the lock.

Parameters:

msl A pointer to the pointer of a MCS lock.
me A pointer to a new node of MCS lock.

Returns:

1 if the lock is successfully taken; 0 otherwise.

Definition at line 144 of file rte_mcslock.h.

static int rte_mcslock_is_locked (1(rte_mcslock_t *) msl) [inline], [static]

Test if the lock is taken.

Parameters:

msl A pointer to a MCS lock node.

Returns:

1 if the lock is currently taken; 0 otherwise.

Definition at line 171 of file rte_mcslock.h.
