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:

Fa lkp

A pointer to the lock to initialize.

Fa prio

The priority passed to sleep(9).

Fa wmesg

The lock message. This is used for both debugging output and sleep(9).

Fa timo

The timeout value passed to sleep(9).

Fa 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 Fa timo during a sleep; otherwise, 0 is used.

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.

The Fn lockmgr and Fn lockmgr_rw functions handle general locking functionality within the kernel, including support for shared and exclusive locks, and recursion. Fn lockmgr and Fn lockmgr_rw are also able to upgrade and downgrade locks.

Their arguments are:

Fa lkp

A pointer to the lock to manipulate.

Fa 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 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).

Fa ilk

An interlock mutex for controlling group access to the lock. If LK_INTERLOCK is specified, Fn lockmgr and Fn lockmgr_rw assume Fa ilk is currently owned and not recursed, and will return it unlocked. See mtx_assert9.

The Fn lockmgr_args and Fn lockmgr_args_rw function work like Fn lockmgr and Fn lockmgr_rw but accepting a Fa wmesg , Fa timo and Fa prio on a per-instance basis. The specified values will override the default ones, but this can still be used passing, respectively, LK_WMESG_DEFAULT LK_PRIO_DEFAULT and LK_TIMO_DEFAULT

The Fn lockmgr_disown function switches the owner from the current thread to be LK_KERNPROC, if the lock is already held.

The Fn lockmgr_printinfo function prints debugging information about the lock. It is used primarily by VOP_PRINT9 functions.

The Fn lockmgr_recursed function returns true if the lock is recursed, 0 otherwise.

The Fn lockmgr_waiters function returns true if the lock has waiters, 0 otherwise.

The Fn lockstatus function returns the status of the lock in relation to the current thread.

When compiled with options INVARIANTS and options INVARIANT_SUPPORT the Fn lockmgr_assert function tests Fa lkp for the assertions specified in Fa 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 Vt lkp lock pointed to by the first argument.

KA_SLOCKED

Assert that the current thread has a shared lock on the Vt lkp lock pointed to by the first argument.

KA_XLOCKED

Assert that the current thread has an exclusive lock on the Vt lkp lock pointed to by the first argument.

KA_UNLOCKED

Assert that the current thread has no lock on the Vt lkp lock pointed to by the first argument.

In addition, one of the following optional assertions can be used with either an KA_LOCKED KA_SLOCKED or KA_XLOCKED assertion:

KA_RECURSED

Assert that the current thread has a recursed lock on Fa lkp .

KA_NOTRECURSED

Assert that the current thread does not have a recursed lock on Fa lkp .

RETURN VALUES

The Fn lockmgr and Fn lockmgr_rw functions return 0 on success and non-zero on failure.

The Fn 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

Fn lockmgr and Fn lockmgr_rw fail if:

Bq Er EBUSY

LK_FORCEUPGRADE was requested and another thread had already requested a lock upgrade.

Bq Er EBUSY

LK_NOWAIT was set, and a sleep would have been required.

Bq Er ENOLCK

LK_SLEEPFAIL was set and Fn lockmgr or Fn lockmgr_rw did sleep.

Bq Er EINTR

PCATCH was set in the lock priority, and a signal was delivered during a sleep. Note the Er ERESTART error below.

Bq Er ERESTART

PCATCH was set in the lock priority, a signal was delivered during a sleep, and the system call is to be restarted.

Bq Er EWOULDBLOCK

a non-zero timeout was given, and the timeout expired.

LOCKS

If LK_INTERLOCK is passed in the Fa flags argument to Fn lockmgr or Fn lockmgr_rw , the Fa ilk must be held prior to calling Fn lockmgr or Fn 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.
