That is, ** If I hold the write lock, I can ask for it and get it again. ** If I hold the write lock, I can also ask for and get a read lock. ** I can then release the locks in any order (read or write). ** If I hold a read lock, I must not ask for another read lock or ** the write lock. ** I must release each lock type as many times as I acquired it. ** ** For deadlock detection, locks should be ranked, and no lock may be aquired ** while I hold a lock of higher rank number. ** If you don't want that feature, always use NSS_RWLOCK_RANK_NONE. ** Lock name is for debugging, and is optional (may be NULL) **/ #ifndef nssrwlk_h___ #define nssrwlk_h___ #include "utilrename.h" #include "prtypes.h" #include "nssrwlkt.h" #define NSS_RWLOCK_RANK_NONE 0 /* SEC_BEGIN_PROTOS */ PR_BEGIN_EXTERN_C /*********************************************************************** ** FUNCTION: NSSRWLock_New ** DESCRIPTION: ** Returns a pointer to a newly created reader-writer lock object. ** INPUTS: Lock rank ** Lock name ** OUTPUTS: void ** RETURN: NSSRWLock* ** If the lock cannot be created because of resource constraints, NULL ** is returned. ** ***********************************************************************/ extern NSSRWLock *NSSRWLock_New(PRUint32 lock_rank, const char *lock_name); /*********************************************************************** ** FUNCTION: NSSRWLock_AtomicCreate ** DESCRIPTION: ** Given the address of a NULL pointer to a NSSRWLock, ** atomically initializes that pointer to a newly created NSSRWLock. ** Returns the value placed into that pointer, or NULL. ** ** INPUTS: address of NSRWLock pointer ** Lock rank ** Lock name ** OUTPUTS: NSSRWLock* ** RETURN: NSSRWLock* ** If the lock cannot be created because of resource constraints, ** the pointer will be left NULL. ** ***********************************************************************/ extern NSSRWLock * nssRWLock_AtomicCreate(NSSRWLock **prwlock, PRUint32 lock_rank, const char *lock_name); /*********************************************************************** ** FUNCTION: NSSRWLock_Destroy ** DESCRIPTION: ** Destroys a given RW lock object. ** INPUTS: NSSRWLock *lock - Lock to be freed. ** OUTPUTS: void ** RETURN: None ***********************************************************************/ extern void NSSRWLock_Destroy(NSSRWLock *lock); /*********************************************************************** ** FUNCTION: NSSRWLock_LockRead ** DESCRIPTION: ** Apply a read lock (non-exclusive) on a RWLock ** INPUTS: NSSRWLock *lock - Lock to be read-locked. ** OUTPUTS: void ** RETURN: None ***********************************************************************/ extern void NSSRWLock_LockRead(NSSRWLock *lock); /*********************************************************************** ** FUNCTION: NSSRWLock_LockWrite ** DESCRIPTION: ** Apply a write lock (exclusive) on a RWLock ** INPUTS: NSSRWLock *lock - Lock to write-locked. ** OUTPUTS: void ** RETURN: None ***********************************************************************/ extern void NSSRWLock_LockWrite(NSSRWLock *lock); /*********************************************************************** ** FUNCTION: NSSRWLock_UnlockRead ** DESCRIPTION: ** Release a Read lock.
