In my previous article I kicked off a new series on latches by explain what they are, why they’re needed, and the mechanics of how they work, and I strongly recommend that you read that article before this one. In this article I’m going to discuss the FGCB_ADD_REMOVE latch and show how it can be a bottleneck. What is the FGCB_ADD_REMOVE Latch? Most latch class names are tied directly to the data structure that they protect.
