|
|
<p>The <strong>pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock</strong>() function attempts to acquire a shared read lock on the read/write lock specified by <em>rwlock</em>. If the shared read lock cannot be acquired immediately, <strong>pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock</strong>() returns the <strong>EBUSY</strong> error.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Any number of threads can hold shared read locks on the same read/write lock object. If any thread holds an exclusive write lock on a read/write lock object, no other threads will be allowed to hold a shared read or exclusive write lock.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If there are no threads holding an exclusive write lock on the read/write lock, the calling thread will successfully acquire the shared read lock.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If the calling thread already holds a shared read lock on the read/write lock, another read lock can be successfully acquired by the calling thread. If more than one shared read lock is successfully acquired by a thread on a read/write lock object, that thread is required to successfully call <strong>pthread_rwlock_unlock</strong>() a matching number of times.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>With a large number of readers, and relatively few writers, there is the possibility of writer starvation. If there are threads waiting for an exclusive write lock on the read/write lock and there are threads that currently hold a shared read lock, the shared read lock request will be granted.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
<h3>Read/Write Lock Deadlocks</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If a thread ends while holding a write lock, the attempt by another thread to acquire a shared read or exclusive write lock will not be successful. In this case, the attempt to acquire the lock will return the <strong>EBUSY</strong> error. If a thread ends while holding a read lock, the system automatically releases the read lock.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
<h3>Upgrade / Downgrade a Lock</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If the calling thread currently holds an exclusive write lock on the read/write lock object, the shared read lock request will be granted. After the shared read lock request is granted, the calling thread holds <strong>both</strong> the shared read, <strong>and</strong> the exclusive write lock for the specified read/write lock object. If the thread calls <strong>pthread_rwlock_unlock</strong>() while holding one or more shared read locks <strong>and</strong> one or more exclusive write locks, the exclusive write locks are unlocked first. If more than one outstanding exclusive write lock was held by the thread, a matching number of successful calls to <strong>pthread_rwlock_unlock</strong>() must be done before all write locks are unlocked. At that time, subsequent calls to <strong>pthread_rwlock_unlock</strong>() will unlock the shared read locks.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This behavior can be used to allow your application to upgrade or downgrade one lock type to another. See <a href="concep26.htm#293561">Read/write locks can be upgraded/downgraded</a>.</p>
