[GSoC][PATCH 3/4] grep: disable grep_read_mutex when possible

From
Matheus Tavares <matheus.bernardino@usp.br>
Date
Aug 10, 2019, 20:27 UTC
Message-ID
<d2e3f4eac24d26210f8962ebd82fd24a99c91fdf.1565468806.git.matheus.bernardino@usp.br>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1565468806.git.matheus.bernardino@usp.br>

git-grep uses 'grep_read_mutex' to protect some object reading operations. But these have their own internal lock now, which ensure a better performance (with more parallel regions). So, disable the former when it's possible to use the latter, with enable_obj_read_lock().
