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.

Typedef Documentation

rte_mcslock_t

typedef struct rte_mcslock rte_mcslock_t

The rte_mcslock_t type.

Function Documentation

rte_mcslock_lock()

static void rte_mcslock_lock ( rte_mcslock_t **  msl, rte_mcslock_t *  me  )

inlinestatic

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 51 of file rte_mcslock.h.

rte_mcslock_unlock()

static void rte_mcslock_unlock ( rte_mcslock_t **  msl, rte_mcslock_t *  me  )

inlinestatic

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 103 of file rte_mcslock.h.

rte_mcslock_trylock()

static int rte_mcslock_trylock ( rte_mcslock_t **  msl, rte_mcslock_t *  me  )

inlinestatic

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.

rte_mcslock_is_locked()

static int rte_mcslock_is_locked ( rte_mcslock_t *  msl )

inlinestatic

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.
