wait time min - shortest (non-0) time we ever had to wait for a lock
max - longest time we ever had to wait for a lock
- total - total time we spend waiting on this lock
+ total - total time we spend waiting on this lock
+ avg - average time spent waiting on this lock
acq-bounces - number of lock acquisitions that involved x-cpu data
acquisitions - number of times we took the lock
hold time min - shortest (non-0) time we ever held the lock
- max - longest time we ever held the lock
- total - total time this lock was held
-
-From these number various other statistics can be derived, such as:
-
- hold time average = hold time total / acquisitions
+ max - longest time we ever held the lock
+ total - total time this lock was held
+ avg - average time this lock was held
These numbers are gathered per lock class, per read/write state (when
applicable).
