5 | * Locked reference counts. | |
6 | * | |
7 | * These are different from just plain atomic refcounts in that they | |
8 | * are atomic with respect to the spinlock that goes with them. In | |
9 | * particular, there can be implementations that don't actually get | |
10 | * the spinlock for the common decrement/increment operations, but they | |
11 | * still have to check that the operation is done semantically as if | |
12 | * the spinlock had been taken (using a cmpxchg operation that covers | |
13 | * both the lock and the count word, or using memory transactions, for | |
14 | * example). | |
