<p class=MsoNormal>Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I made a patch that adds fast locking mechanisms instead of
seq file for freeradius-client.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This patch is based on putting the sequence number in the
shared memory. Two approaches used to do a mutual exclusion for shared memory:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>a) GCC builtin atomic memory access (only on Intel)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>b) POSIX named semaphore<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Fallback:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>c) If nothing of the above available it fallbacks to a
sequence file locks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Originally I did it against radiusclient-ng, but looks that
freeradius-client is a correct place. The patch works for freeradius-client
1.1.6 as well.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Here’s a patch and more detailed description:<o:p></o:p></p>
