DB_ENV->lock_detect(DB_ENV *env,
u_int32_t flags, u_int32_t atype, int *rejected);
The DB_ENV->lock_detect() method runs one iteration of the deadlock
detector. The deadlock detector traverses the lock table and marks one
of the participating lock requesters for rejection in each deadlock it
finds.
The DB_ENV->lock_detect() method is the underlying method used by the
db_deadlock utility.
See the db_deadlock
utility source code for an example of using DB_ENV->lock_detect() in
a IEEE/ANSI Std 1003.1 (POSIX) environment.
The DB_ENV->lock_detect()
method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
The atype parameter specifies which lock request(s) to reject. The deadlock detector will reject the lock request with the lowest priority. If multiple lock requests have the lowest priority, then the atype parameter is used to select which of those lock requests to reject. It must be set to one of the following list:
Use the default lock policy, which is DB_LOCK_RANDOM.
Reject lock requests which have timed out. No other deadlock detection is performed.
Reject the lock request for the locker ID with the most locks.
Reject the lock request for the locker ID with the most write locks.
Reject the lock request for the locker ID with the fewest locks.
Reject the lock request for the locker ID with the fewest write locks.
Reject the lock request for the locker ID with the oldest lock.
Reject the lock request for a random locker ID.
Reject the lock request for the locker ID with the youngest lock.
The DB_ENV->lock_detect()
method may fail and return one of the following non-zero errors:
