This attribute is set in the * robust parameter to these functions. The default value of the * robust attribute is PTHREAD_MUTEX_STALLED. * * The robustness of mutex is contained in the robustness attribute * of the mutex attributes. Valid mutex robustness values are: * * PTHREAD_MUTEX_STALLED * No special actions are taken if the owner of the mutex is * terminated while holding the mutex lock. This can lead to * deadlocks if no other thread can unlock the mutex. * This is the default value. * * PTHREAD_MUTEX_ROBUST * If the process containing the owning thread of a robust mutex * terminates while holding the mutex lock, the next thread that * acquires the mutex shall be notified about the termination by * the return value [EOWNERDEAD] from the locking function. If the * owning thread of a robust mutex terminates while holding the mutex * lock, the next thread that acquires the mutex may be notified * about the termination by the return value [EOWNERDEAD]. The * notified thread can then attempt to mark the state protected by * the mutex as consistent again by a call to * pthread_mutex_consistent(). After a subsequent successful call to * pthread_mutex_unlock(), the mutex lock shall be released and can * be used normally by other threads. If the mutex is unlocked without * a call to pthread_mutex_consistent(), it shall be in a permanently * unusable state and all attempts to lock the mutex shall fail with * the error [ENOTRECOVERABLE]. The only permissible operation on such * a mutex is pthread_mutex_destroy(). * * RESULTS * 0 successfully set attribute, * EINVAL 'attr' or 'robust' is invalid, * * ------------------------------------------------------ */ { int result = EINVAL; if ((attr != NULL && *attr != NULL)) { switch (robust) { case PTHREAD_MUTEX_STALLED: case PTHREAD_MUTEX_ROBUST: (*attr)->robustness = robust; result = 0; break; } } return (result); } /* pthread_mutexattr_setrobust */
