     centralized copy-safe write-biased single-writer read-write locks

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 re-
     quires  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;
	   }
