<p>The <strong>pthread_mutex_unlock</strong>() function unlocks the mutex
|
||
|
|
specified. If the calling thread does not currently hold the mutex (via a
|
||
|
|
previous call to <strong>pthread_mutex_lock</strong>(),
|
||
|
|
<strong>pthread_mutex_trylock</strong>(), or <strong>
|
||
|
|
pthread_mutex_timedlock_np</strong>()) the unlock request fails with the
|
||
|
|
<strong>EPERM</strong> error.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Mutex initialization using the <strong>PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER</strong>
|
||
|
|
does not immediately initialize the mutex. Instead, on first use,
|
||
|
|
<strong>pthread_mutex_timedlock_np</strong>() or
|
||
|
|
<strong>pthread_mutex_lock</strong>() or
|
||
|
|
<strong>pthread_mutex_trylock</strong>() branches into a slow path and causes
|
||
|
|
the initialization of the mutex. Because a mutex is not just a simple memory
|
||
|
|
object and requires that some resources be allocated by the system, an attempt
|
||
|
|
to call <strong>pthread_mutex_destroy</strong>() or
|
||
|
|
<strong>pthread_mutex_unlock</strong>() on a mutex that was statically
|
||
|
|
initialized using <strong>PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER</strong> and was not yet
|
||
|
|
locked causes an <strong>EINVAL</strong> error.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

<h3>Mutex Types</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A normal mutex cannot be locked repeatedly by the owner. Attempts by a
|
||
|
|
thread to relock an already held mutex, or to lock a mutex that was held by
|
||
|
|
another thread when that thread terminated, cause a deadlock condition.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A recursive mutex can be locked repeatedly by the owner. The mutex does not
|
||
|
|
become unlocked until the owner has called
|
||
|
|
<strong>pthread_mutex_unlock</strong>() for each successful lock request that
|
||
|
|
it has outstanding on the mutex.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>An errorcheck mutex checks for deadlock conditions that occur when a thread
|
||
|
|
relocks an already held mutex. If a thread attempts to relock a mutex that it
|
||
|
|
already holds, the lock request fails with the <strong>EDEADLK</strong>
|
||
|
|
error.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>An ownerterm mutex is an i5/OS extension to the errorcheck mutex type. An
|
||
|
|
ownerterm mutex checks for deadlock conditions that occur when a thread relocks
|
||
|
|
an already held mutex. If a thread attempts to relock a mutex that it already
|
||
|
|
holds, the lock request fails with the <strong>EDEADLK</strong> error. An
|
||
|
|
ownerterm mutex also checks for deadlock conditions that occur when a thread
|
||
|
|
attempts to lock a mutex that was held by another thread when that thread
|
||
|
|
terminated (an orphaned mutex). If a thread attempts to lock an orphaned mutex,
|
||
|
|
the lock request fails with the <strong>EOWNERTERM</strong> error.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>When a thread terminates while holding a mutex lock on a normal or
|
||
|
|
errorcheck mutex, other threads that wait for that mutex will block forever.
|
||
|
|
The pthreads run-time simulates the deadlock that has occurred in your
|
||
|
|
application. When you are attempting to debug these deadlock scenarios, the CL
|
||
|
|
command WRKJOB, option 20, shows the thread as in a condition wait. Displaying
|
||
|
|
the call stack shows that the function
|
||
|
|
<strong>deadlockOnOrphanedMutex</strong> is in the call stack.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>When a thread attempts to acquire a normal mutex that it already holds, the
|
||
|
|
thread will block forever. The pthreads run-time simulates the deadlock that
|
||
|
|
has occurred in your application. When you are attempting to debug these
|
||
|
|
deadlock scenarios, the CL command WRKJOB, option 20, shows the thread as in a
|
||
|
|
condition wait. Displaying the call stack shows that the function
|
||
|
|
<strong>deadlockOnAlreadyHeldMutex</strong> is in the call stack.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>To change these behaviors, use an errorcheck or ownerterm mutex type.</p>

<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>For successful completion, the mutex lock must be held before you call
|
||
|
|
<strong>pthread_mutex_unlock</strong>().</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
