/*------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * spin.h * Hardware-independent implementation of spinlocks. * * * The hardware-independent interface to spinlocks is defined by the * typedef "slock_t" and these macros: * * void SpinLockInit(volatile slock_t *lock) * Initialize a spinlock (to the unlocked state). * * void SpinLockAcquire(volatile slock_t *lock) * Acquire a spinlock, waiting if necessary. * Time out and abort() if unable to acquire the lock in a * "reasonable" amount of time --- typically ~ 1 minute. * Cancel/die interrupts are held off until the lock is released. * * void SpinLockRelease(volatile slock_t *lock) * Unlock a previously acquired lock. * Release the cancel/die interrupt holdoff. * * void SpinLockAcquire_NoHoldoff(volatile slock_t *lock) * void SpinLockRelease_NoHoldoff(volatile slock_t *lock) * Same as above, except no interrupt holdoff processing is done. * This pair of macros may be used when there is a surrounding * interrupt holdoff. * * bool SpinLockFree(slock_t *lock) * Tests if the lock is free. Returns TRUE if free, FALSE if locked. * This does *not* change the state of the lock. * * Callers must beware that the macro argument may be evaluated multiple * times! * * CAUTION: Care must be taken to ensure that loads and stores of * shared memory values are not rearranged around spinlock acquire * and release. This is done using the "volatile" qualifier: the C * standard states that loads and stores of volatile objects cannot * be rearranged *with respect to other volatile objects*. The * spinlock is always written through a volatile pointer by the * spinlock macros, but this is not sufficient by itself: code that * protects shared data with a spinlock MUST reference that shared * data through a volatile pointer. * * These macros are implemented in terms of hardware-dependent macros * supplied by s_lock.h. * * * Portions Copyright (c) 1996-2005, PostgreSQL Global Development Group * Portions Copyright (c) 1994, Regents of the University of California * * $PostgreSQL: pgsql/src/include/storage/spin.h,v 1.26 2005/10/13 06:17:34 neilc Exp $ * *------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ #ifndef SPIN_H #define SPIN_H #include "storage/s_lock.h" #include "miscadmin.h" #define SpinLockInit(lock) S_INIT_LOCK(lock) #define SpinLockAcquire(lock) \ do { \ HOLD_INTERRUPTS(); \ S_LOCK(lock); \ } while (0) #define SpinLockAcquire_NoHoldoff(lock) S_LOCK(lock) #define SpinLockRelease(lock) \ do { \ S_UNLOCK(lock); \ RESUME_INTERRUPTS(); \ } while (0) #define SpinLockRelease_NoHoldoff(lock) S_UNLOCK(lock) #define SpinLockFree(lock) S_LOCK_FREE(lock) extern int SpinlockSemas(void); #endif /* SPIN_H */
