Detailed Description

POSIX compliant mutex.

A synchronisation object used to allow multiple threads to serialise their access to shared data. The name derives from the capability it provides; namely, mutual-exclusion. The thread that has locked a mutex becomes its owner and remains the owner until that same thread unlocks the mutex.

Tradeoff Between Error Checks and Performance Supported

Many error conditions that can occur are not required to be detected by the implementation in order to let implementations trade off performance versus degree of error checking according to the needs of their specific applications and execution environment. As a general rule, conditions caused by the system (such as insufficient memory) are required to be detected, but conditions caused by an erroneously coded application (such as failing to provide adequate synchronisation to prevent a mutex from being deleted while in use) are specified to result in undefined behaviour.

A wide range of implementations is thus made possible. For example, an implementation intended for application debugging may implement all of the error checks, but an implementation running a single, provably correct application under very tight performance constraints in an embedded computer might implement minimal checks. An implementation might even be provided in two versions, similar to the options that compilers provide: a full-checking, but slower version; and a limited-checking, but faster version. To forbid this optionality would be a disservice to users.

By carefully limiting the use of "undefined behaviour" only to things that an erroneous (badly coded) application might do, and by defining that resource-not-available errors are mandatory, POSIX ensures that a fully-conforming application is portable across the full range of implementations, while not forcing all implementations to add overhead to check for numerous things that a correct program never does. When the behaviour is undefined, no error number is specified to be returned on implementations that do detect the condition. This is because undefined behaviour means anything can happen, which includes returning with any value (which might happen to be a valid, but different, error number). However, since the error number might be useful to application developers when diagnosing problems during application development, a recommendation is made in rationale that implementors should return a particular error number if their implementation does detect the condition.

Static Initialisers

Providing for static initialisation of statically allocated synchronisation objects allows modules with private static synchronisation variables to avoid runtime initialisation tests and overhead. Furthermore, it simplifies the coding of self-initialising modules. Such modules are common in C libraries, where for various reasons the design calls for self-initialisation instead of requiring an explicit module initialisation function to be called. An example use of static initialisation:

// Construct a normal mutex. Same as using the default constructor.
mutex mx { "mx1" };
// Construct a recursive mutex.
mutex_recursive rmx { "mx2" };

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ mutex() [1/2]

os::rtos::mutex::mutex ( const attributes attr = initializer_normal)

Construct a mutex object instance.

Parameters
[in]attrReference to attributes.

This constructor shall initialise a mutex object with attributes referenced by attr. If the attributes specified by attr are modified later, the mutex attributes shall not be affected. Upon successful initialisation, the state of the mutex object shall become initialised.

Only the mutex object itself may be used for performing synchronisation. It is not allowed to make copies of condition variable objects.

In cases where default mutex attributes are appropriate, the variables mutex::initializer_normal or mutex::initializer_recursive can be used to initialise mutex objects. The effect shall be equivalent to creating a mutex object with the default constructor.

If the attr attributes are modified after the mutex creation, the mutex attributes shall not be affected.

POSIX compatibility
Inspired by pthread_mutex_init() from <pthread.h> (IEEE Std 1003.1, 2013 Edition).
Warning
Cannot be invoked from Interrupt Service Routines.

Definition at line 430 of file os-mutex.cpp.

◆ mutex() [2/2]

os::rtos::mutex::mutex ( const char *  name,
const attributes attr = initializer_normal 
)

Construct a named mutex object instance.

Parameters
[in]namePointer to name.
[in]attrReference to attributes.

This constructor shall initialise a mutex object with attributes referenced by attr. If the attributes specified by attr are modified later, the mutex attributes shall not be affected. Upon successful initialisation, the state of the mutex object shall become initialised.

Only the mutex object itself may be used for performing synchronisation. It is not allowed to make copies of condition variable objects.

In cases where default mutex attributes are appropriate, the variables mutex::initializer_normal or mutex::initializer_recursive can be used to initialise mutex objects. The effect shall be equivalent to creating a mutex object with the default constructor.

If the attr attributes are modified after the mutex creation, the mutex attributes shall not be affected.

Definition at line 466 of file os-mutex.cpp.

◆ ~mutex()

os::rtos::mutex::~mutex ( )

Destruct the mutex object instance.

This destructor shall destroy the mutex object; the object becomes, in effect, uninitialised. An implementation may cause the destructor to set the object to an invalid value.

It shall be safe to destroy an initialised mutex that is unlocked. Attempting to destroy a locked mutex results in undefined behaviour (for example it may trigger an assert).

Member Function Documentation

◆ consistent()

result_t os::rtos::mutex::consistent ( void  )

Mark mutex as consistent.

Parameters
None.
Return values
result::okThe mutex was marked as consistent.
EPERMCannot be invoked from an Interrupt Service Routines.
EINVALThe mutex object referenced by mutex is not robust or does not protect an inconsistent state.

If the robust mutex is in an inconsistent state, the consistent() function can be used to mark the state protected by the mutex referenced by mutex as consistent again.

If an owner of a robust mutex terminates while holding the mutex, the mutex becomes inconsistent and the next thread that acquires the mutex lock shall be notified of the state by the return value EOWNERDEAD. In this case, the mutex does not become normally usable again until the state is marked consistent.

If the thread which acquired the mutex lock with the return value EOWNERDEAD terminates before calling either consistent() or unlock(), the next thread that acquires the mutex lock shall be notified about the state of the mutex by the return value EOWNERDEAD.

POSIX compatibility

Definition at line 1466 of file os-mutex.cpp.

◆ lock()

result_t os::rtos::mutex::lock ( void  )

Lock/acquire the mutex.

Parameters
None.
Return values
result::okThe mutex was locked.
EPERMCannot be invoked from an Interrupt Service Routines.
ENOTRECOVERABLEThe state protected by the mutex is not recoverable..
EAGAINThe mutex could not be acquired because the maximum number of recursive locks for mutex has been exceeded.
EINVALThe mutex was created with the protocol attribute having the value mutex::protocol::protect and the calling thread's priority is higher than the mutex's current priority ceiling.
EOWNERDEADThe mutex is a robust mutex and the process containing the previous owning thread terminated while holding the mutex lock. The mutex lock shall be acquired by the calling thread and it is up to the new owner to make the state consistent.
EDEADLKThe mutex type is mutex::type::errorcheck and the current thread already owns the mutex.

If the mutex is free, lock it. If the mutex is already locked by another thread, the calling thread shall block until the mutex becomes available. This operation shall return with the mutex object referenced by mutex in the locked state with the calling thread as its owner. If a thread attempts to relock a mutex that it has already locked, lock() shall behave as described in the Relock column of the following table. If a thread attempts to unlock a mutex that it has not locked or a mutex which is unlocked, unlock() shall behave as described in the Unlock When Not Owner column of the following table.

Mutex Type Robustness Relock Unlock When Not Owner
normal non-robust deadlock undefined behaviour
normal robust deadlock error
errorcheck either error error
recursive either recursive error
default non-robust undefined undefined behaviour
default robust undefined error

Where the table indicates recursive behaviour, the mutex shall maintain the concept of a lock count. When a thread successfully acquires a mutex for the first time, the lock count shall be set to one. Every time a thread relocks this mutex, the lock count shall be incremented by one. Each time the thread unlocks the mutex, the lock count shall be decremented by one. When the lock count reaches zero, the mutex shall become available for other threads to acquire.

◆ timed_lock()

result_t os::rtos::mutex::timed_lock ( clock::duration_t  timeout)

Timed attempt to lock/acquire the mutex.

Parameters
[in]timeoutTimeout to wait, in clock units (ticks or seconds).
Return values
result::okThe mutex was locked.
EPERMCannot be invoked from an Interrupt Service Routines.
ETIMEDOUTThe mutex could not be locked before the specified timeout expired.
ENOTRECOVERABLEThe state protected by the mutex is not recoverable.
EAGAINThe mutex could not be acquired because the maximum number of recursive locks for mutex has been exceeded.
EDEADLKThe mutex type is mutex::type::errorcheck and the current thread already owns the mutex.
EINVALThe process or thread would have blocked, and the timeout parameter is invalid.
EOWNERDEADThe mutex is a robust mutex and the process containing the previous owning thread terminated while holding the mutex lock. The mutex lock shall be acquired by the calling thread and it is up to the new owner to make the state consistent.

If the mutex is already locked, the calling thread shall block until the mutex becomes available as in the lock() function. If the mutex cannot be locked without waiting for another thread to unlock the mutex, this wait shall be terminated when the specified timeout expires.

The timeout shall expire after the number of time units (that is when the value of that clock equals or exceeds (now()+duration). The resolution of the timeout shall be the resolution of the clock on which it is based.

Under no circumstance shall the function fail with a timeout if the mutex can be locked immediately. The validity of the timeout need not be checked if the mutex can be locked immediately.

The clock used for timeouts can be specified via the clock attribute. By default, the clock derived from the scheduler timer is used, and the durations are expressed in ticks.

As a consequence of the priority inheritance rules (for mutexes initialized with mutex::protocol::inherit), if a timed mutex wait is terminated because its timeout expires, the priority of the owner of the mutex shall be adjusted as necessary to reflect the fact that this thread is no longer among the threads waiting for the mutex.

POSIX compatibility
Inspired by pthread_mutex_timedlock() from <pthread.h> (IEEE Std 1003.1, 2013 Edition).
Differences from the standard:
  • the timeout is not expressed as an absolute time point, but as a relative number of timer ticks (by default, the SysTick clock for Cortex-M).

◆ try_lock()

result_t os::rtos::mutex::try_lock ( void  )

Try to lock/acquire the mutex.

Parameters

Return values
result::okThe mutex was locked.
EPERMCannot be invoked from an Interrupt Service Routines.
ENOTRECOVERABLEThe state protected by the mutex is not recoverable..
EAGAINThe mutex could not be acquired because the maximum number of recursive locks for mutex has been exceeded.
EINVALThe mutex was created with the protocol attribute having the value mutex::protocol::protect and the calling thread's priority is higher than the mutex's current priority ceiling.
EOWNERDEADThe mutex is a robust mutex and the process containing the previous owning thread terminated while holding the mutex lock. The mutex lock shall be acquired by the calling thread and it is up to the new owner to make the state consistent.
EDEADLKThe mutex type is mutex::type::errorcheck and the current thread already owns the mutex.
EWOULDBLOCKThe mutex could not be acquired because it was already locked.

Try to lock the mutex as lock(), except that if the mutex is currently locked (by any thread, including the current thread), the call shall return immediately. If the mutex type is mutex::type::recursive and the mutex is currently owned by the calling thread, the mutex lock count shall be incremented by one and the try_lock() function shall immediately return success.

If the mutex is robust and the owning thread terminated while holding the mutex lock, a call to try_lock() may return the error value EOWNERDEAD. In these cases, the mutex is locked by the thread but the state it protects is marked as inconsistent. The application should ensure that the state is made consistent for reuse and when that is complete call consistent(). If the application is unable to recover the state, it should unlock the mutex without a prior call to consistent(), after which the mutex is marked permanently unusable.

POSIX compatibility
Inspired by pthread_mutex_trylock() from <pthread.h> (IEEE Std 1003.1, 2013 Edition).

Unlock/release the mutex.

Parameters

EPERMCannot be invoked from an Interrupt Service Routine; the mutex type is mutex::type::errorcheck or mutex::type::recursive, or the mutex is a robust mutex, and the current thread does not own the mutex.
ENOTRECOVERABLEThe recursive mutex whose oner died was not marked consistent() before unlock().

The manner in which a mutex is released is dependent upon the mutex's type attribute. If there are threads blocked on the mutex object referenced by mutex when unlock() is called, resulting in the mutex becoming available, the scheduling policy shall determine which thread shall acquire the mutex.

In the case of mutex::type::recursive mutexes, the mutex shall become available when the count reaches zero and the calling thread no longer has any locks on this mutex.
