Abstract

A global lock is used to access a first set of data structures. An active transaction having a transaction start identifier is identified as a globally oldest active transaction associated with the first set of data structures. A first marker value of a first data structure of a second set of data structures is compared to the transaction start identifier to determine satisfaction of a first condition. In response to satisfying the first condition, the first data structure is accessed to identify a first set of data locks associated with one or more transactions each having a transaction completion identifier that satisfies a second condition when compared to the transaction start identifier. In response to satisfying the second condition, the first set of data locks is released.
