How linux mutex is differ from mutex in VxWorks ??

Question

What is the difference in behavior between mutex in linux and mutex in VxWorks ??

Answer 1

A Mutex is a lock that we set before using a shared resource and release after using it. When the lock is set, no other thread can access the locked region of code. So we see that even if thread 2 is scheduled while thread 1 was not done accessing the shared resource and the code is locked by thread 1 using mutexes then thread 2 cannot even access that region of code. So this ensures a synchronized access of shared resources in the code.

If you want I can add more details about Mutex and synchronization.
