<p>The <strong>pthread_mutexattr_settype</strong>() function sets the <em>type</em> attribute in the mutex attributes object specified by <em>attr</em>. The mutex type attribute is used to create mutexes with different behaviors.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The type will be one of <strong>PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT</strong>, <strong>PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL</strong>, <strong>PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE</strong>, <strong>PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK</strong>, or <strong>PTHREAD_MUTEX_OWNERTERM_NP</strong> or the <strong>EINVAL</strong> error will be returned.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The default mutex type (or <strong>PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT</strong>) is <strong>PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL</strong>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
<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 result in 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 re-locks 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 re-locks 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>
