[563]32 *    This file defines an user level POSIX compliant mutex.
[23]33 *
[563]34 * It can be used by muti-threaded user applications to synchronise user threads
35 * running in different clusters.
[23]36 *
37 * A mutex is declared by a given user process as a "pthread_mutex_t" global variable.
38 * This user type is implemented as an unsigned long, but the value is not used by the
39 * kernel. ALMOS-MKH uses only the mutex virtual address as an identifier.
40 * For each user mutex, ALMOS-MKH creates a kernel "remote_mutex_t" structure,
41 * dynamically allocated in the reference cluster by the remote_mutex_create() function,
[563]42 * and destroyed by the remote_mutex_destroy() function, using RPC if the calling thread
[23]43 * is not running in the reference cluster.
44 *
45 * The blocking "remote_mutex_lock()" function implements a descheduling policy when
46 * the lock is already taken by another thread : the calling thread is registered
47 * in a waiting queue, rooted in the mutex structure, and the the calling thread
48 * is blocked on the THREAD_BLOCKED_MUTEX condition.
49 * The "remote_mutex_unlock()" function unblocks the first waiting thread in the queue
50 * without releasing the mutex if queue is not empty.
