Hi All, I have a query regarding mutex and threads which are sleeping for a mutex to get released by an owner thread. Is that OS will always wake up that thread which went into sleep state first and so on. Or any thread can be start running. Can we control the way in which these sleeping threads gets wakeup ? I want to implement that the threads on mutex gets awaken in a sequence in which they went for a sleep. Is it possible to do that ? Please guide me over this.
