Operation mode

* A mutex is a threads synchronization object that can be in two * distinct states: * - Not owned (unlocked). * - Owned by a thread (locked). * . * Operations defined for mutexes: * - Lock: The mutex is checked, if the mutex is not owned by * some other thread then it is associated to the locking thread * else the thread is queued on the mutex in a list ordered by * priority. * - Unlock: The mutex is released by the owner and the highest * priority thread waiting in the queue, if any, is resumed and made * owner of the mutex. * . *

Constraints

* In ChibiOS/RT the Unlock operations are always performed in * lock-reverse order. The unlock API does not even have a parameter, * the mutex to unlock is selected from an internal, per-thread, stack * of owned mutexes. This both improves the performance and is * required for an efficient implementation of the priority * inheritance mechanism. * *

The priority inversion problem

* The mutexes in ChibiOS/RT implements the full priority * inheritance mechanism in order handle the priority inversion * problem.
* When a thread is queued on a mutex, any thread, directly or * indirectly, holding the mutex gains the same priority of the * waiting thread (if their priority was not already equal or higher). * The mechanism works with any number of nested mutexes and any * number of involved threads. The algorithm complexity (worst case) * is N with N equal to the number of nested mutexes. * @pre In order to use the mutex APIs the @p CH_USE_MUTEXES option * must be enabled in @p chconf.h. * @post Enabling mutexes requires 5-12 (depending on the architecture) * extra bytes in the @p Thread structure. * @{ */ #include "ch.h" #if CH_USE_MUTEXES || defined(__DOXYGEN__) /** * @brief Initializes s @p Mutex structure. * * @param[out] mp pointer to a @p Mutex structure * * @init */ void chMtxInit(Mutex *mp) { chDbgCheck(mp != NULL, "chMtxInit");
