PTHREAD...PROTOCOL(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual PTHREAD...PROTOCOL(3P)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The
Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
pthread_mutexattr_getprotocol, pthread_mutexattr_setprotocol —
get and set the protocol attribute of the mutex attributes object
(REALTIME THREADS)
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_mutexattr_getprotocol(const pthread_mutexattr_t
*restrict attr, int *restrict protocol);
int pthread_mutexattr_setprotocol(pthread_mutexattr_t *attr,
int protocol);
The pthread_mutexattr_getprotocol() and
pthread_mutexattr_setprotocol() functions, respectively, shall
get and set the protocol attribute of a mutex attributes object
pointed to by attr which was previously created by the function
pthread_mutexattr_init().
The protocol attribute defines the protocol to be followed in
utilizing mutexes. The value of protocol may be one of:
PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT
PTHREAD_PRIO_NONE
PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT
which are defined in the <pthread.h> header. The default value of
the attribute shall be PTHREAD_PRIO_NONE.
When a thread owns a mutex with the PTHREAD_PRIO_NONE protocol
attribute, its priority and scheduling shall not be affected by
its mutex ownership.
When a thread is blocking higher priority threads because of
owning one or more robust mutexes with the PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT
protocol attribute, it shall execute at the higher of its
priority or the priority of the highest priority thread waiting
on any of the robust mutexes owned by this thread and initialized
with this protocol.
When a thread is blocking higher priority threads because of
owning one or more non-robust mutexes with the
PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT protocol attribute, it shall execute at the
higher of its priority or the priority of the highest priority
thread waiting on any of the non-robust mutexes owned by this
thread and initialized with this protocol.
When a thread owns one or more robust mutexes initialized with
the PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT protocol, it shall execute at the higher
of its priority or the highest of the priority ceilings of all
the robust mutexes owned by this thread and initialized with this
attribute, regardless of whether other threads are blocked on any
of these robust mutexes or not.
When a thread owns one or more non-robust mutexes initialized
with the PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT protocol, it shall execute at the
higher of its priority or the highest of the priority ceilings of
all the non-robust mutexes owned by this thread and initialized
with this attribute, regardless of whether other threads are
blocked on any of these non-robust mutexes or not.
While a thread is holding a mutex which has been initialized with
the PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT or PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT protocol
attributes, it shall not be subject to being moved to the tail of
the scheduling queue at its priority in the event that its
original priority is changed, such as by a call to
sched_setparam(). Likewise, when a thread unlocks a mutex that
has been initialized with the PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT or
PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT protocol attributes, it shall not be subject
to being moved to the tail of the scheduling queue at its
priority in the event that its original priority is changed.
If a thread simultaneously owns several mutexes initialized with
different protocols, it shall execute at the highest of the
priorities that it would have obtained by each of these
protocols.
When a thread makes a call to pthread_mutex_lock(), the mutex was
initialized with the protocol attribute having the value
PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT, when the calling thread is blocked because
the mutex is owned by another thread, that owner thread shall
inherit the priority level of the calling thread as long as it
continues to own the mutex. The implementation shall update its
execution priority to the maximum of its assigned priority and
all its inherited priorities. Furthermore, if this owner thread
itself becomes blocked on another mutex with the protocol
attribute having the value PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT, the same
priority inheritance effect shall be propagated to this other
owner thread, in a recursive manner.
The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the attr
argument to pthread_mutexattr_getprotocol() or
pthread_mutexattr_setprotocol() does not refer to an initialized
mutex attributes object.
Upon successful completion, the pthread_mutexattr_getprotocol()
and pthread_mutexattr_setprotocol() functions shall return zero;
otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the
error.
The pthread_mutexattr_setprotocol() function shall fail if:
ENOTSUP
The value specified by protocol is an unsupported value.
The pthread_mutexattr_getprotocol() and
pthread_mutexattr_setprotocol() functions may fail if:
EINVAL The value specified by protocol is invalid.
EPERM The caller does not have the privilege to perform the
operation.
These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
The following sections are informative.
None.
None.
If an implementation detects that the value specified by the attr
argument to pthread_mutexattr_getprotocol() or
pthread_mutexattr_setprotocol() does not refer to an initialized
mutex attributes object, it is recommended that the function
should fail and report an [EINVAL] error.
None.
