They are still locks after all. On -rt I saw for the relevant
application:
send package |
take lock |
write pckt to hw |
| rcv irq
| take lock
| schedule
drop lock |
schedule |
| get pckt from hw
| drop lock
So reducing the time a lock is taken reduces the chances that the lock
is contended for another thread which results in extra context switches.
Best regards
