There is currently no distinction between an rw-lock and a plain lock. There is just the 'Lock' class. The important pieces are: The interface: https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/blob/master/base/include/base/cancelable_lock.h The generic implementation: https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/blob/master/base/src/base/lock/lock.cc The platform-specific back-end functions are located at the 'base-<platform>/src/base/lock/lock_helper.h' file. The basic functioning of the lock is described in the following posting at the L4ka::Pistachio mailinglist: https://lists.ira.uni-karlsruhe.de/pipermail/l4ka/2010-July/002318.html So far, we hadn't had the urgent need for a rw-lock in Genode. In principle, you should be safe to use the normal 'Lock' in cases where an rw-lock is normally used. The code will probably just scale not as good as by using an rw-lock when the lock is contended by multiple readers. Alternatively, you may consider implementing an rw-lock by following the lines of the 'Genode::Lock' and using the same backend function interface (the functions provided by 'lock_helper.h'). If you take this path, I would be very interested in your findings. Best regards Norman -- Dr.-Ing.
