Subject: reader-writer spinlocks
Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2007 09:15:45 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7783925d0704042045va8a015bree261c74900567db@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi LIst,

This is about reader-writer spinlocks. The Robert love's book says
that Readers are given preference over writers, where as LDD3 says
writers are given preference over readers.

So which one is correct?

And about reader-writer semaphores?

Thanks,

Rick
