.Dt ck_rwcohort 3
.Sh NAME
.Nm ck_rwcohort
.Nd generalized interface for reader-writer locks using cohort locks
.Sh LIBRARY
Concurrency Kit (libck, \-lck)
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In ck_rwcohort.h
In each of the following macros, "STRATEGY" should be replaced with either "NEUTRAL", "RP", or "WP"
depending on which locking strategy the user prefers. RP and WP represent reader preference and
writer preference, respectively, while NEUTRAL represents a strategy neutral to reads vs. writes.
.Fn CK_RWCOHORT_STRATEGY_PROTOTYPE "COHORT_NAME cohort_name"
.Fn CK_RWCOHORT_STRATEGY_NAME "COHORT_NAME cohort_name"
.Fn CK_RWCOHORT_STRATEGY_INSTANCE "COHORT_NAME cohort_name"
.Fn CK_RWCOHORT_STRATEGY_INIT "COHORT_NAME cohort_name" "RWCOHORT lock" "unsigned int wait_limit"
Note: the wait_limit argument should be omitted for locks using the neutral strategy
.Fn CK_RWCOHORT_STRATEGY_READ_LOCK "COHORT_NAME cohort_name" "RWCOHORT lock" "COHORT cohort" \
"void *global_context" "void *local_context"
.Fn CK_RWCOHORT_STRATEGY_READ_UNLOCK "COHORT_NAME cohort_name" "RWCOHORT lock" "COHORT cohort" \
"void *global_context" "void *local_context"
.Fn CK_RWCOHORT_STRATEGY_WRITE_LOCK "COHORT_NAME cohort_name" "RWCOHORT lock" "COHORT cohort" \
"void *global_context" "void *local_context"
.Fn CK_RWCOHORT_STRATEGY_WRITE_UNLOCK "COHORT_NAME cohort_name" "RWCOHORT lock" "COHORT cohort" \
"void *global_context" "void *local_context"
.Pp
Arguments of type RWCOHORT must be pointers to structs defined using the
.Xr CK_RWCOHORT_STRATEGY_PROTOTYPE 3
macro with the same strategy and cohort name as the current call.
.Pp
Arguments of type COHORT must be pointers to structs defined using the
.Xr CK_COHORT_PROTOTYPE 3
macro.
.Sh DESCRIPTION
ck_rwcohort.h provides an interface for defining reader-writer locks
that use cohort locks internally to increase performance on NUMA
architectures. See
.Xr ck_cohort 3
for more information about cohort locks.
.Pp
Before using a reader-writer cohort lock, the user must define a cohort type using
either the
.Xr CK_COHORT_PROTOTYPE 3
or the
.Xr CK_COHORT_TRYLOCK_PROTOTYPE 3
macros, and define a reader-writer lock type using the
.Xr CK_RWCOHORT_PROTOTYPE 3
macro.
