Abstract

See full text

A method and system for implementing a reader-writer lock having a write lock requested by a thread is disclosed. The reader-writer lock is structured to have counters and a flag. The counters use an atomic process to count read locks held or outstanding read lock requests. The flag identifies a counter and is configured to distinguish between counters. A read lock is prepared, acquired, and released. The atomic process is used and the flag or flagged counter is polled. A write lock is prepared, acquired, and released.
