ABSTRACT:
In a data processing system, multiple requests for a service are stored on a deferred list formed out of already allocated memory space. Specifically, a received service request is added to the deferred list by altering the request as dictated by a stated convention. Preferably, the convention mandates that an instruction pointer of the received service request is decremented or otherwise manipulated. The altered received service request then is exchanged for a sevice request currently held at the service. The altering and exhanging are performed atomically. The service request that was previously held for the service is sent to the head of the current deferred list. It is preferred that the deferred list be formed out of activation frames.
