Sorry I did not finish the thing and got posted accidentally
For example, I have two thread sharing a global shared memory variable as
below. The variable shmPtr->status is protected with mutex lock in both the
function. Though there is a sleep(1/2) between mutex lock inside "for loop"
in the task1 function , I could not access the shmPtr->status in task2 when
required and have to wait until "for loop" exit in the task1 function, this
takes around 50 seconds to take control of shmPtr->status by the task2
function.
I am wondering why the task1 function is not releasing the mutex lock even
with an sleep(1/2).
thr_id1 = pthread_create ( &p_thread1, NULL, (void *)execution_task1, NULL
);
thr_id2 = pthread_create ( &p_thread2, NULL, (void *)execution_task2, NULL
);
void execution_task1()
{
for(int i = 0;i < 100;i++)
{
//100 lines of application code running here
pthread_mutex_lock(&lock);
shmPtr->status = 1; //shared memory variable
pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock);
sleep(1/2);
}
}
void execution_task2()
{
//100 lines of application code running here
pthread_mutex_lock(&lock);
shmPtr->status = 0; //shared memory variable
pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock);
sleep(1/2);
}
Regards,
NK
