/* Package locker provides a mechanism for creating finer-grained locking to help free up more global locks to handle other tasks. The implementation looks close to a sync.Mutex, however the user must provide a reference to use to refer to the underlying lock when locking and unlocking, and unlock may generate an error. If a lock with a given name does not exist when `Lock` is called, one is created. Lock references are automatically cleaned up on `Unlock` if nothing else is waiting for the lock. */ package locker // import "github.com/docker/docker/pkg/locker" import ( "errors" "sync" "sync/atomic" ) // ErrNoSuchLock is returned when the requested lock does not exist var ErrNoSuchLock = errors.New("no such lock") // Locker provides a locking mechanism based on the passed in reference name type Locker struct { mu sync.Mutex locks map[string]*lockCtr } // lockCtr is used by Locker to represent a lock with a given name. type lockCtr struct { mu sync.Mutex // waiters is the number of waiters waiting to acquire the lock // this is int32 instead of uint32 so we can add `-1` in `dec()` waiters int32 } // inc increments the number of waiters waiting for the lock func (l *lockCtr) inc() { atomic.AddInt32(&l.waiters, 1) } // dec decrements the number of waiters waiting on the lock func (l *lockCtr) dec() { atomic.AddInt32(&l.waiters, -1) } // count gets the current number of waiters func (l *lockCtr) count() int32 { return atomic.LoadInt32(&l.waiters) } // Lock locks the mutex func (l *lockCtr) Lock() { l.mu.Lock() } // Unlock unlocks the mutex func (l *lockCtr) Unlock() { l.mu.Unlock() } // New creates a new Locker func New() *Locker { return &Locker{ locks: make(map[string]*lockCtr), } } // Lock locks a mutex with the given name.
