       ck_swlock_locked_reader	--  centralized	copy-safe write-biased single-

LIBRARY
       Concurrency Kit (libck, -lck)

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<ck_swlock.h>

       ck_swlock_t lock	= CK_SWLOCK_INITIALIZER;

       void
       ck_swlock_init(ck_swlock_t *lock);

       void
       ck_swlock_write_lock(ck_swlock_t	*lock);

       void
       ck_swlock_write_unlock(ck_swlock_t *lock);

       void
       ck_swlatch_write_latch(ck_swlatch_t *latch);

       void
       ck_swlatch_write_unlatch(ck_swlatch_t *latch);

       bool
       ck_swlock_write_trylock(ck_swlock_t *lock);

       bool
       ck_swlock_write_downgrade(ck_swlock_t *lock);

       bool
       ck_swlock_locked_writer(ck_swlock_t *lock);

       void
       ck_swlock_read_lock(ck_swlock_t *lock);

       bool
       ck_swlock_read_trylock(ck_swlock_t *lock);

       void
       ck_swlock_read_unlock(ck_swlock_t *lock);

       bool
       ck_swlock_locked_reader(ck_swlock_t *lock);

DESCRIPTION
       This is a centralized write-biased single-writer	reader-writer lock. It
       requires	half the space that ck_rwlock does and has a low latency  fast
       path.  The  lock	supports latch and unlatch operations that allow it to
       be used in a copy-safe manner (reader-bits may be over-written safely).

EXAMPLE
	     #include <ck_swlock.h>

	     static ck_swlock_t	lock = CK_SWLOCK_INITIALIZER;

	     static void
	     reader(void)
	     {

		     for (;;) {
			     ck_swlock_read_lock(&lock);
			     /*	Read-side critical section. */
			     ck_swlock_read_unlock(&lock);

			     if	(ck_swlock_read_trylock(&lock) == true)	{
				     /*	Read-side critical section. */
				     ck_swlock_read_unlock(&lock);
			     }
		     }

		     return;
	     }

	     static void
	     writer(void)
	     {
		     ck_swlock_t contrived;

		     for (;;) {
			     ck_swlock_write_lock(&lock);
			     /*	Write-side critical section. */
			     ck_swlock_write_unlock(&lock);

			     if	(ck_swlock_write_trylock(&lock)	== true) {
				     /*	Write-side critical section. */
				     ck_swlock_write_unlock(&lock);
			     }

			     ck_swlock_write_latch(&lock);
			     /*	Write-side critical section. */

			     /*	This is	safe to	do with-in a latch. */
			     contrived = lock;
			     lock = contrived;
			     ck_swlock_write_unlatch(&lock);
		     }

		     return;
	     }
