36  *
37  * Locking some objects like sorcery objects can be tricky because the underlying
38  * ao2 object may not be the same for all callers. For instance, two threads that
39  * call ast_sorcery_retrieve_by_id on the same aor name might actually get 2 different
40  * ao2 objects if the underlying wizard had to rehydrate the aor from a database.
41  * Locking one ao2 object doesn't have any effect on the other even if those objects
42  * had locks in the first place
43  *
44  * Named locks allow access control by name. Now an aor named "1000" can be locked and
45  * any other thread attempting to lock the aor named "1000" will wait regardless of whether
46  * the underlying ao2 object is the same or not.
47  *
48  * To use a named lock:
49  * Call ast_named_lock_get with the appropriate keyspace and key.
50  * Use the standard ao2 lock/unlock functions as needed.
51  * Call ao2_cleanup when you're finished with it.
