| Synopsis |
Kernel locking mechanisms play a vital role in the Linux kernel programming (for example device driver ) development. The unsecured shared data in the kernel process without proper locking will create chaos or even crash. In this presentation, I throw more light on understanding the existing kernel locking techniques such as semaphore, atomic lock, spin lock, wait queues, read-write lock etc., in a detailed manner with appropriate example code.
