Synchronization primitives in the Linux kernel.
This chapter describes synchronization primitives in the Linux kernel.
- Introduction to spinlocks - the first part of this chapter describes implementation of spinlock mechanism in the Linux kernel.
- Queued spinlocks - the second part describes another type of spinlocks - queued spinlocks.
- Semaphores - this part describes implementation of
semaphoresynchronization primitive in the Linux kernel. - Mutual exclusion - this part describes -
mutexin the Linux kernel. - Reader/Writer semaphores - this part describes special type of semaphores -
reader/writersemaphores. - Sequential locks - this part describes sequential locks in the Linux kernel.
