hi hackers,
I want to use turnstile to implement sx_lock( or read/write lock),but
find that there is a big obstacle,
ONE sx_lock needs TWO queues to put waiters on,one for readers and the
other one for writers,but ONE turnstile can only supply ONE queue,and ONE
sx_lock can only get ONE turnstile.
I read opensolaris' rw_lock implementation and find that its turnstile
has TWO queues which is different from FreeBSD's turnstile.
Are there any good ideas to bypass the obstacle? Thanks very much.
