In some embodiments of this disclosure, a computer-implemented method includes requesting, by a first thread on a computer system, conditional exclusive access to a first resource for updating the first resource to perform a first task. An indication is received that the requested exclusive access to the first resource is currently unavailable. Unconditional shared access to the first resource is requested after receiving the indication that the requested exclusive access is unavailable. The shared access to the first resource is received. The first resource is used, by a computer processor, through the shared access to perform the first task in lieu of the requested exclusive access.
