I have been working on one thread which manage and control
a couple of circular buffers. It has api for other thread
to access.
As the thread grows bigger and bigger,
I split it as 3 to 4 threads which need to share common
buffers, and also their api could be used by other threads,
(not these three threads). Inside api, I also allow other
threads to access these three threads' common buffers(more
than one buffer). SO I have to use mutex to avoid race
condition . But I found mutex will be everwhere in all the
threads when they update the common buffer. I am wondering
whether I could reduce mutex usage(more mutex will hure my
system performance). any ideas for how to reduce mutex
usage meanwhile to avoid race condition. Thanks
