Question

Transcribed Image Text:Suppose I have two threads that perform a few operations, a mutex mx and a condition variable cond,
as follows:
Thread 1:{
q();
lock(mx);
t();
wait(cond);
unlock(mx);
n();
}
Thread 2:{
lock(mx);
i();
signal(cond);
1();
unlock(mx);
}
Which of the following orderings are possible? Select ALL correct answers (The notation "a→b"
means that the call to a() "happens before" the call to b().)
O one of the threads could block forever, while the other thread finishes
O q>i>l>t→n x
O i>q>l>t→n x
O i>q>t→n→I
O q>i>t→I→n
q→t→i>l»n[
O both threads could block forever
Select all possible options that apply. e
