Abstract
Communication between processors and I/O communications processes is facilitated. During the communication, shared control blocks and input/output queues are updated without using locks. Instead, a lockless capability is provided to update the queues and control blocks, thereby enhancing system performance and minimizing the need for recovery processes.
