PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.
The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
pthread_spin_lock, pthread_spin_trylock - lock a spin lock object
(ADVANCED REALTIME THREADS)
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_spin_lock(pthread_spinlock_t * lock);
int pthread_spin_trylock(pthread_spinlock_t *lock);
DESCRIPTION
The pthread_spin_lock() function shall lock the spin lock referenced
by lock. The calling thread shall acquire the
lock if it is not held by another thread. Otherwise, the thread shall
spin (that is, shall not return from the
pthread_spin_lock() call) until the lock becomes available.
The results are undefined if the calling thread holds the lock
at the time the call is made. The pthread_spin_trylock() function
shall lock the spin lock referenced by lock if it
is not held by any thread. Otherwise, the function shall fail.
The results are undefined if any of these functions is called with
an uninitialized spin lock.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return zero; otherwise,
an error number shall be returned to indicate the
error.
ERRORS
These functions may fail if:
- EINVAL
-
The value specified by lock does not refer to an initialized
spin lock object.
The pthread_spin_lock() function may fail if:
- EDEADLK
-
The calling thread already holds the lock.
The pthread_spin_trylock() function shall fail if:
- EBUSY
-
A thread currently holds the lock.
These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
Applications using this function may be subject to priority inversion,
as discussed in the Base Definitions volume of
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 3.285, Priority Inversion.
The pthread_spin_lock() and pthread_spin_trylock() functions
are part of the Spin Locks option and need not be
provided on all implementations.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
