读写锁分析

   最近要做一个FS多线程优化的项目：初步想法是将原来的静态锁去掉，换成并发性能更好的读写锁。我这里只是做个知识储备。

我们先看下源码：

int
__pthread_rwlock_init (rwlock, attr)
     pthread_rwlock_t *rwlock;
     const pthread_rwlockattr_t *attr;
{
  const struct pthread_rwlockattr *iattr;

  iattr = ((const struct pthread_rwlockattr *) attr) ?: &default_attr;

  rwlock->__data.__lock = 0;
  rwlock->__data.__flags
    = iattr->lockkind == PTHREAD_RWLOCK_PREFER_WRITER_NONRECURSIVE_NP;
  rwlock->__data.__nr_readers = 0;
  rwlock->__data.__writer = 0;
  rwlock->__data.__readers_wakeup = 0;
  rwlock->__data.__writer_wakeup = 0;
  rwlock->__data.__nr_readers_queued = 0;
  rwlock->__data.__nr_writers_queued = 0;

  return 0;
}

 

pthread_rwlock_init初始化锁，这里值得一提的是读写锁的默认属性PTHREAD_RWLOCK_DEFAULT_NP，这个值之间决定__flags字段。

如果你想要用到写优先的特性，所以你必须用到PTHREAD_RWLOCK_PREFER_WRITE
