A simple way to understand wait (P) and signal (V) operations is: wait: Decrements the value of the semaphore variable by 1. If the new value of the semaphore variable is negative, the process executing wait is blocked (i.e., added to the semaphore's queue). Otherwise, the process continues execution, having used a unit of the resource. signal ...
Alternatively an RW lock can be implemented in terms of a condition variable, cond, an ordinary (mutex) lock, g, and various counters and flags describing the threads that are currently active or waiting. [7] [8] [9] For a write-preferring RW lock one can use two integer counters and one Boolean flag:
