Delve into the mechanics, applications, and subtle aspects of using Sequential Locks (seqlocks) in the Linux Kernel. From understanding the 'Why' to exploring real-time use-cases and dealing with preemption, limitations, and interrupts, this repository is a treasure trove for aspiring Kernel developers and enthusiasts! 🚀👨💻
- 0_why_sequence_lock: Understand the necessity behind using seqlocks.
- 1_sequence locks: An overview of sequence locks and their fundamental concept.
- 2_how it works: Delving deeper into seqlocks' working mechanism with example code (
hello.c). - 3_writer: Discussing write operations using seqlocks.
- 4_reader: Exploring read operations and their implementation through seqlocks.
- 5_example: Practical example utilizing seqlocks in a coding context.
- 6_preemption: Handling preemption and its implications on seqlocks.
- 7_limitations: Limitations encountered when using seqlocks.
- 8_usecases: Practical and theoretical use-cases of seqlocks in the Linux Kernel.
- 9_interrupts: Managing interrupts when utilizing seqlocks.
Each directory contains markdown files that discuss various aspects and concepts related to seqlocks. Code examples, where provided, include a Makefile for convenient compilation and execution. 🚀🔨
