3 * spin.h
4 * Hardware-independent implementation of spinlocks.
7 * The hardware-independent interface to spinlocks is defined by the
8 * typedef "slock_t" and these macros:
10 * void SpinLockInit(volatile slock_t *lock)
11 * Initialize a spinlock (to the unlocked state).
13 * void SpinLockAcquire(volatile slock_t *lock)
14 * Acquire a spinlock, waiting if necessary.
15 * Time out and abort() if unable to acquire the lock in a
16 * "reasonable" amount of time --- typically ~ 1 minute.
18 * void SpinLockRelease(volatile slock_t *lock)
19 * Unlock a previously acquired lock.
21 * bool SpinLockFree(slock_t *lock)
22 * Tests if the lock is free. Returns true if free, false if locked.
23 * This does *not* change the state of the lock.
25 * Callers must beware that the macro argument may be evaluated multiple
26 * times!
28 * Load and store operations in calling code are guaranteed not to be
29 * reordered with respect to these operations, because they include a
30 * compiler barrier. (Before PostgreSQL 9.5, callers needed to use a
31 * volatile qualifier to access data protected by spinlocks.)
33 * Keep in mind the coding rule that spinlocks must not be held for more
34 * than a few instructions. In particular, we assume it is not possible
35 * for a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() to occur while holding a spinlock, and so
36 * it is not necessary to do HOLD/RESUME_INTERRUPTS() in these macros.
38 * These macros are implemented in terms of hardware-dependent macros
39 * supplied by s_lock.h. There is not currently any extra functionality
40 * added by this header, but there has been in the past and may someday
41 * be again.
