synctask: introduce synclocks for co-operative locking
This patch introduces a synclocks - co-operative locks for synctasks. Synctasks yield themselves when a lock cannot be acquired at the time of the lock call, and the unlocker will wake the yielded locker at the time of unlock. The implementation is safe in a multi-threaded syncenv framework. It is also safe for sharing the lock between non-synctasks. i.e, the same lock can be used for synchronization between a synctask and a regular thread. In such a situation, waiting synctasks will yield themselves while non-synctasks will sleep on a cond variable. The unlocker (which could be either a synctask or a regular thread) will wake up any type of lock waiter (synctask or regular). Usage: Declaration and Initialization ------------------------------ synclock_t lock; ret = synclock_init (&lock); if (ret) { /* lock could not be allocated */ } Locking and non-blocking lock attempt ------------------------------------- ret = synclock_trylock (&lock); if (ret && (errno == EBUSY)) { /* lock is held by someone else */ return; } synclock_lock (&lock); { /* critical section */ } synclock_unlock (&lock); Change-Id: I081873edb536ddde69a20f4a7dc6558ebf19f5b2 BUG: 763820 Signed-off-by: Anand Avati <avati@redhat.com> Reviewed-on: http://review.gluster.org/4717 Reviewed-by: Krishnan Parthasarathi <kparthas@redhat.com> Tested-by: Gluster Build System <jenkins@build.gluster.com> Reviewed-by: Raghavendra G <raghavendra@gluster.com> Reviewed-by: Jeff Darcy <jdarcy@redhat.com>
