consider jonhoo/drwmutex instead sync.Mutex about freecache HOT 5 CLOSED

That is Interesting, but drwmutex is meant to replace sync.RWMutex, not sync.Mutex.

from freecache.

Yes, indeed it's imitating sync.RWMutex, so you could use it too instead of sync.Mutex

from freecache.

But drwmutex is optimised for RLock method and freecache only use Lock method.

here https://github.com/coocood/freecache/blob/master/cache.go#L53 RLock could be used since it's only reading, unless of course there are no writes behind the scene.

Anyway, if you feel so please close this ticket.

It is not read only, the access time for the entry is updated when you get it.
