Locking occurs on two levels (see Listing 7) : The list has a read-write lock, while individual nodes contain a mutex.

在两个级别上执行锁定(见清单7)：链表有一个读写锁，各个节点包含一个互斥锁。

The reason this technique is called the "cheap read-write lock" is that you are using different synchronization mechanisms for reads and writes.

之所以将这种技术称之为 “开销较低的读-写锁” 是因为您使用了不同的同步机制进行读写操作。

If you don't adhere to this approach in prioritizing writer threads using pthread_setschedprio, then given the nature of read-write lock, it is easy to see how writer threads could starve.

如果不按这种方式使用 pthread_setschedprio 设置写线程的优先级，根据读写锁的性质，很容易看出写线程可能会饿死。
