• eea62f831   brlocks/lglocks: turn into functions ... Browse Code »

  lglocks and brlocks are currently generated with some complicated macros
  in lglock.h. But there's no reason to not just use common utility
  functions and put all the data into a common data structure.

  Since there are at least two users it makes sense to share this code in a
  library. This is also easier maintainable than a macro forest.

  This will also make it later possible to dynamically allocate lglocks and
  also use them in modules (this would both still need some additional, but
  now straightforward, code)
