Abstract
A first data accessor acquires a lock associated with a critical section. The first data accessor initiates a help session associated with a first operation of the critical section. In the help session, a second data accessor (which has not acquired the first lock) performs one or more sub-operations of the first operation. The first data accessor releases the lock after at least the first operation has been completed.
