    Abstract: A current state of one or more entries in a mapping table that are associated with latch-free updates of a data structure that uses indirection mapping tables is accessed. A transformation of the current state of the one or more entries in the mapping table to a transformed state of the entries in the mapping table, is controlled. The controlling includes initiating an atomic multi-word compare-and-swap (MWCAS) operation on a plurality of words using a hardware transactional memory (HTM) resident in a device processor, and the MWCAS operation is performed using hardware primitive operations of the HTM, via the device processor. A transformation of a current state of the data structure to an updated state of the data structure, is controlled, via the transformation of the current state of the one or more entries in the mapping table to the transformed state of the entries in the mapping table.

    Abstract translation: 访问与映射表中使用间接映射表的数据结构的无锁定更新相关联的映射表中的一个或多个条目的当前状态。 将映射表中的一个或多个条目的当前状态的变换控制为映射表中的条目的变换状态。 控制包括使用驻留在设备处理器中的硬件事务存储器(HTM)来对多个单词发起原子多字比较和交换(MWCAS)操作,并且使用HTM的硬件原始操作来执行MWCAS操作 ,通过设备处理器。 通过将映射表中的一个或多个条目的当前状态转换为映射表中的条目的变换状态来控制数据结构的当前状态到数据结构的更新状态的变换 。
