Mutex Locks in Operating System

Posted on December 10, 2021December 10, 2021 By christo No Comments on Mutex Locks in Operating System

A mutex lock has a boolean variable available whose value indicates if the lock is available or not. If the lock is available, a call to acquire() succeeds, and the lock is then considered unavailable. A process that attempts to acquire an unavailable lock is blocked until the lock is released

The definition of acquire() is as follows:

Solution to the critical-section problem using mutex locks

acquire() {
while (!available)
; /* busy wait */
available = false;;
}
do {
acquire lock
critical section
release lock
remainder section
} while (true);

The definition of release() is as follows:

release() {
available = true;
}
