DESCRIPTION

       libpmemobj(7)  provides  several  types  of synchronization primitives designed to be used
       with persistent memory.  The pmem-aware lock implementation is based on the standard POSIX
       Threads   Library,  as  described  in  pthread_mutex_init(3),  pthread_rwlock_init(3)  and
       pthread_cond_init(3).  Pmem-aware locks provide  semantics  similar  to  standard  pthread
       locks,  except  that  they  are  embedded  in  pmem-resident  objects  and  are considered
       initialized by  zeroing  them.   Therefore,  locks  allocated  with  pmemobj_zalloc(3)  or
       pmemobj_tx_zalloc(3) do not require another initialization step.  For performance reasons,
       they are also padded up to 64 bytes (cache line size).

       On FreeBSD, since all pthread locks are dynamically allocated, while the  lock  object  is
       still  padded  up  to 64 bytes for consistency with Linux, only the pointer to the lock is
       embedded in the pmem-resident object.  libpmemobj(7) transparently manages freeing of  the
       locks when the pool is closed.

       The  fundamental  property  of  pmem-aware locks is their automatic reinitialization every
       time the persistent object store pool is opened.  Thus, all the pmem-aware  locks  may  be
       considered  initialized  (unlocked)  immediately  after  the pool is opened, regardless of
       their state at the time the pool was closed for the last time.

       Pmem-aware mutexes, read/write locks and condition variables must  be  declared  with  the
       PMEMmutex, PMEMrwlock, or PMEMcond type, respectively.

       The  pmemobj_mutex_zero()  function  explicitly initializes the pmem-aware mutex mutexp by
       zeroing it.  Initialization is not necessary if the object containing the mutex  has  been
       allocated using pmemobj_zalloc(3) or pmemobj_tx_zalloc(3).

       The  pmemobj_mutex_lock()  function  locks  the  pmem-aware mutex mutexp.  If the mutex is
       already locked, the calling thread will block until the mutex becomes available.  If  this
       is  the  first  use  of  the  mutex  since  the  opening  of  the  pool  pop, the mutex is
       automatically reinitialized and then locked.

       pmemobj_mutex_timedlock() performs the same action as pmemobj_mutex_lock(), but  will  not
       wait beyond abs_timeout to obtain the lock before returning.

       The  pmemobj_mutex_trylock()  function  locks  pmem-aware  mutex  mutexp.  If the mutex is
       already locked, pthread_mutex_trylock() will not block waiting for  the  mutex,  but  will
       return an error.  If this is the first use of the mutex since the opening of the pool pop,
       the mutex is automatically reinitialized and then locked.

       The pmemobj_mutex_unlock()  function  unlocks  the  pmem-aware  mutex  mutexp.   Undefined
       behavior follows if a thread tries to unlock a mutex that has not been locked by it, or if
       a thread tries to release a mutex that is already unlocked or has not been initialized.

       The pmemobj_rwlock_zero()  function  is  used  to  explicitly  initialize  the  pmem-aware
       read/write  lock  rwlockp  by  zeroing  it.  Initialization is not necessary if the object
       containing the lock has been allocated using pmemobj_zalloc(3) or pmemobj_tx_zalloc(3).

       The pmemobj_rwlock_rdlock() function acquires a read lock on rwlockp,  provided  that  the
       lock  is not presently held for writing and no writer threads are presently blocked on the
       lock.  If the read lock cannot be acquired immediately, the calling thread blocks until it
       can  acquire the lock.  If this is the first use of the lock since the opening of the pool
       pop, the lock is automatically reinitialized and then acquired.

       pmemobj_rwlock_timedrdlock() performs the same action as pmemobj_rwlock_rdlock(), but will
       not  wait  beyond  abs_timeout  to  obtain  the  lock before returning.  A thread may hold
       multiple concurrent read locks.  If so, pmemobj_rwlock_unlock() must be  called  once  for
       each lock obtained.  The results of acquiring a read lock while the calling thread holds a
       write lock are undefined.

       The pmemobj_rwlock_wrlock() function blocks until a write lock  can  be  acquired  against
       read/write  lock  rwlockp.   If this is the first use of the lock since the opening of the
       pool pop, the lock is automatically reinitialized and then acquired.

       pmemobj_rwlock_timedwrlock()  performs  the  same  action,  but  will  not   wait   beyond
       abs_timeout to obtain the lock before returning.

       The     pmemobj_rwlock_tryrdlock()     function    performs    the    same    action    as
       pmemobj_rwlock_rdlock(), but does not block if the lock cannot  be  immediately  obtained.
       The  results  are  undefined  if the calling thread already holds the lock at the time the
       call is made.

       The    pmemobj_rwlock_trywrlock()    function    performs    the    same     action     as
       pmemobj_rwlock_wrlock(),  but  does  not block if the lock cannot be immediately obtained.
       The results are undefined if the calling thread already holds the lock  at  the  time  the
       call is made.

       The  pmemobj_rwlock_unlock()  function  is  used to release the read/write lock previously
       obtained by pmemobj_rwlock_rdlock(), pmemobj_rwlock_wrlock(),  pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock(),
       or pmemobj_rwlock_trywrlock().

       The  pmemobj_cond_zero() function explicitly initializes the pmem-aware condition variable
       condp by zeroing it.  Initialization  is  not  necessary  if  the  object  containing  the
       condition variable has been allocated using pmemobj_zalloc(3) or pmemobj_tx_zalloc(3).

       The  difference  between  pmemobj_cond_broadcast()  and  pmemobj_cond_signal() is that the
       former unblocks all threads waiting for the condition variable, whereas the latter  blocks
       only  one  waiting  thread.   If no threads are waiting on condp, neither function has any
       effect.  If more than one thread is blocked on a condition variable, the  used  scheduling
       policy  determines  the  order  in  which  threads are unblocked.  The same mutex used for
       waiting must be held while calling either function.  Although  neither  function  strictly
       enforces this requirement, undefined behavior may follow if the mutex is not held.

       The  pmemobj_cond_timedwait()  and  pmemobj_cond_wait()  functions  block  on  a condition
       variable.  They must be called  with  mutex  mutexp  locked  by  the  calling  thread,  or
       undefined behavior results.  These functions atomically release mutex mutexp and cause the
       calling thread to block on the condition variable condp; atomically here means “atomically
       with  respect  to  access by another thread to the mutex and then the condition variable”.
       That is, if another thread is able to acquire the mutex after  the  about-to-block  thread
       has    released    it,   then   a   subsequent   call   to   pmemobj_cond_broadcast()   or
       pmemobj_cond_signal() in  that  thread  will  behave  as  if  it  were  issued  after  the
       about-to-block  thread  has blocked.  Upon successful return, the mutex will be locked and
       owned by the calling thread.

RETURN VALUE

       The pmemobj_mutex_zero(), pmemobj_rwlock_zero() and pmemobj_cond_zero()  functions  return
       no value.

       Other  locking functions return 0 on success.  Otherwise, an error number will be returned
       to indicate the error.
