The first case may result Writer to starve. This case favous Writers i.e no writer, once added to the queue, shall be kept waiting longer than absolutely necessary(only when there are readers that entered the queue before the writer).
```c
int readcount, writecount; //(initial value = 0)
semaphore rmutex, wmutex, readTry, resource; //(initial value = 1)
//READER
reader() {
<ENTRY Section>
down(&readLock); // reader is trying to enter
down(&rmutex); // lock to increase readcount
readcount++;
if (readcount == 1)
down(&resource); //if you are the first reader then lock the resource
up(&rmutex); //release for other readers
up(&readLock); //Done with trying to access the resource
<CRITICAL Section>
//reading is performed
<EXIT Section>
down(&rmutex); //reserve exit section - avoids race condition with readers
readcount--; //indicate you're leaving
if (readcount == 0) //checks if you are last reader leaving
up(&resource); //if last, you must release the locked resource
up(&rmutex); //release exit section for other readers
}
//WRITER
writer() {
<ENTRY Section>
down(&wmutex); //reserve entry section for writers - avoids race conditions
writecount++; //report yourself as a writer entering
if (writecount == 1) //checks if you're first writer
down(&readLock); //if you're first, then you must lock the readers out. Prevent them from trying to enter CS
up(&wmutex); //release entry section
<CRITICAL Section>
down(&resource); //reserve the resource for yourself - prevents other writers from simultaneously editing the shared resource
//writing is performed
up(&resource); //release file
<EXIT Section>
down(&wmutex); //reserve exit section
writecount--; //indicate you're leaving
if (writecount == 0) //checks if you're the last writer
up(&readLock); //if you're last writer, you must unlock the readers. Allows them to try enter CS for reading
up(&wmutex); //release exit section
}
We can observe that every reader is forced to acquire ReadTry lock. On the otherhand, writers doesnt need to lock individually. Once the first writer locks the ReadTry lock, it will be released only when there is writer left in the queue.
From the both cases we observed that either reader or writer has to starve. Below solutionadds the constraint that no thread shall be allowed to starve; that is, the operation of obtaining a lock on the shared data will always terminate in a bounded amount of time.
int readCount; // init to 0; number of readers currently accessing resource
// all semaphores initialised to 1
Semaphore resourceAccess; // controls access (read/write) to the resource
Semaphore readCountAccess; // for syncing changes to shared variable readCount
Semaphore serviceQueue; // FAIRNESS: preserves ordering of requests (signaling must be FIFO)
void writer()
{
down(&serviceQueue); // wait in line to be servicexs
// <ENTER>
down(&resourceAccess); // request exclusive access to resource
// </ENTER>
up(&serviceQueue); // let next in line be serviced
// <WRITE>
writeResource(); // writing is performed
// </WRITE>
// <EXIT>
up(&resourceAccess); // release resource access for next reader/writer
// </EXIT>
}
void reader()
{
down(&serviceQueue); // wait in line to be serviced
down(&readCountAccess); // request exclusive access to readCount
// <ENTER>
if (readCount == 0) // if there are no readers already reading:
down(&resourceAccess); // request resource access for readers (writers blocked)
readCount++; // update count of active readers
// </ENTER>
up(&serviceQueue); // let next in line be serviced
up(&readCountAccess); // release access to readCount
// <READ>
readResource(); // reading is performed
// </READ>
down(&readCountAccess); // request exclusive access to readCount
// <EXIT>
readCount--; // update count of active readers
if (readCount == 0) // if there are no readers left:
up(&resourceAccess); // release resource access for all
// </EXIT>
up(&readCountAccess); // release access to readCount
}
