Abstract
A method of controlling thread access to a synchronization object is described. The method comprises waking a sleeping first thread after release, by a second thread, of a synchronization object in a normal state and causing, by the first thread, the synchronization object to transition to a want-lock state, the synchronization object being acquirable by the first thread prior to being acquirable by the second thread.
