DESCRIPTION¶
The lockinit() function is used to initialize a lock. It must be called before any operation can be performed on a lock. Its arguments are:- lkp
- A pointer to the lock to initialize.
- prio
- The priority passed to sleep(9).
- wmesg
- The lock message. This is used for both debugging output and sleep(9).
- timo
- The timeout value passed to sleep(9).
- flags
- The flags the lock is to be initialized with:
LK_ADAPTIVE
- Enable adaptive spinning for this lock if the kernel is compiled with the ADAPTIVE_LOCKMGRS option.
LK_CANRECURSE
- Allow recursive exclusive locks.
LK_NOPROFILE
- Disable lock profiling for this lock.
LK_NOSHARE
- Allow exclusive locks only.
LK_NOWITNESS
- Instruct witness(4) to ignore this lock.
LK_NODUP
- witness(4) should log messages about duplicate locks being acquired.
LK_QUIET
- Disable ktr(4) logging for this lock.
LK_TIMELOCK
- Use timo during a sleep; otherwise, 0 is used.
- lkp
- A pointer to the lock to manipulate.
- flags
- Flags indicating what action is to be taken.
LK_SHARED
- Acquire a shared lock. If an exclusive lock is currently held, it will be downgraded.
LK_EXCLUSIVE
- Acquire an exclusive lock. If an exclusive lock is
already held, and
LK_CANRECURSE
is not set, the system will panic(9). 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.
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 panic(9).
LK_RELEASE
- Release the lock. Releasing a lock that is not held can cause a panic(9).
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 <sys/lockmgr.h>.)
LK_SLEEPFAIL
- Fail if operation has slept.
LK_NOWAIT
- Do not allow the call to sleep. This can be used to test the lock.
LK_NOWITNESS
- Skip the witness(4) checks for this instance.
LK_CANRECURSE
- Allow recursion on an exclusive lock. For every lock there must be a release.
LK_INTERLOCK
- Unlock the interlock (which should be locked already).
- ilk
- An interlock mutex for controlling group access to the
lock. If
LK_INTERLOCK
is specified, lockmgr() and lockmgr_rw() assume ilk is currently owned and not recursed, and will return it unlocked. See mtx_assert(9).
LK_WMESG_DEFAULT
,
LK_PRIO_DEFAULT
and
LK_TIMO_DEFAULT
.
The lockmgr_disown() function switches the owner from the
current thread to be LK_KERNPROC,
if the lock is
already held.
The lockmgr_printinfo() function prints debugging information
about the lock. It is used primarily by VOP_PRINT(9)
functions.
The lockmgr_recursed() function returns true if the lock is
recursed, 0 otherwise.
The lockmgr_waiters() function returns true if the lock has
waiters, 0 otherwise.
The lockstatus() function returns the status of the lock in
relation to the current thread.
When compiled with options INVARIANTS and
options INVARIANT_SUPPORT, the
lockmgr_assert() function tests lkp
for the assertions specified in what, and panics if they
are not met. One of the following assertions must be specified:
KA_LOCKED
- Assert that the current thread has either a shared or an exclusive lock on the lkp lock pointed to by the first argument.
KA_SLOCKED
- Assert that the current thread has a shared lock on the lkp lock pointed to by the first argument.
KA_XLOCKED
- Assert that the current thread has an exclusive lock on the lkp lock pointed to by the first argument.
KA_UNLOCKED
- Assert that the current thread has no lock on the lkp lock pointed to by the first argument.
KA_LOCKED
, KA_SLOCKED
, or
KA_XLOCKED
assertion:
KA_RECURSED
- Assert that the current thread has a recursed lock on lkp.
KA_NOTRECURSED
- Assert that the current thread does not have a recursed lock on lkp.
RETURN VALUES¶
The lockmgr() and lockmgr_rw() functions return 0 on success and non-zero on failure. The lockstatus() function returns:LK_EXCLUSIVE
- An exclusive lock is held by the current thread.
LK_EXCLOTHER
- An exclusive lock is held by someone other than the current thread.
LK_SHARED
- A shared lock is held.
0
- The lock is not held by anyone.
ERRORS¶
lockmgr() and lockmgr_rw() fail if:- [
EBUSY
] LK_FORCEUPGRADE
was requested and another thread had already requested a lock upgrade.- [
EBUSY
] LK_NOWAIT
was set, and a sleep would have been required.- [
ENOLCK
] LK_SLEEPFAIL
was set and lockmgr() or lockmgr_rw() did sleep.- [
EINTR
] PCATCH
was set in the lock priority, and a signal was delivered during a sleep. Note theERESTART
error below.- [
ERESTART
] PCATCH
was set in the lock priority, a signal was delivered during a sleep, and the system call is to be restarted.- [
EWOULDBLOCK
] - a non-zero timeout was given, and the timeout expired.
LOCKS¶
IfLK_INTERLOCK
is passed in the
flags argument to lockmgr() or
lockmgr_rw(), the ilk must be held
prior to calling lockmgr() or
lockmgr_rw(), and will be returned unlocked.
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
panic(9) will be the result of trying.
