[PATCH 6/6] removement of locking mechanisms

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch minimized the use of locking.
Basically locking is only required where open/close/disconnect is done.

Interfering calls usually happen only to rds read/write operations.
The code for ring buffer handling is changed in a way that makes locking there 
unnecessary.
In case of extensive compiler optimization, the worst that can happen is 
dropped new data or redundant read of data.

The good thing is that the clicking noise problem seems finally resolved with 
that patch!
