SAP Note 1588876 - Oracle Enhancement to add different "Mutex" wait schemes

Summary :
Oracle bug 10411618 introduces an enhanced mutex waiting mechanism in the Oracle Database, providing three configurable wait schemes to optimize concurrency. This adjustment allows system administrators to influence mutex waits by selecting from three approaches: yielding the CPU on all waits, sleeping for a fixed period, or using an exponential backoff strategy where wait times progressively increase. The patch addresses existing bugs and is included in the Oracle 11.2.0.2.2 PSU with additional fixes in subsequent patches. Administrators should be cautious about dynamically changing the mutex wait scheme to avoid potential issues, and should adjust settings according to the specific patched version applied to their system.
