The above problems of Producer and Consumer which occurred due to context switch and producing inconsistent result can be solved with the help of semaphores.
To solve the problem occurred above of race condition, we are going to use Binary Semaphore and Counting Semaphore
Binary Semaphore: In Binary Semaphore, only two processes can compete to enter into its CRITICAL SECTION at any point in time, apart from this the condition of mutual exclusion is also preserved.
Counting Semaphore: In counting semaphore, more than two processes can compete to enter into its CRITICAL SECTION at any point of time apart from this the condition of mutual exclusion is also preserved.
Semaphore: A semaphore is an integer variable in S, that apart from initialization is accessed by only two standard atomic operations - wait and signal,
Let's understand the above Solution of Producer and Consumer code:
Before Starting an explanation of code, first, understand the few terms used in the above code:
1. "in" used in a producer code represent the next empty buffer
2. "out" used in consumer code represent first filled buffer
3. "empty" is counting semaphore which keeps a score of no. of empty buffer
4. "full" is counting semaphore which scores of no. of full buffer
5. "S" is a binary semaphore BUFFER
Semaphores used in Producer Code:
6. wait(empty) will decrease the value of the counting semaphore variable empty by 1, that is when the producer produces some element then the value of the space gets automatically decreased by one in the buffer. In case the buffer is full, that is the value of the counting semaphore variable "empty" is 0, then wait(empty); will trap the process (as per definition of wait) and does not allow to go further.
7. wait(S) decreases the binary semaphore variable S to 0 so that no other process which is willing to enter into its critical section is allowed.
8. signal(s) increases the binary semaphore variable S to 1 so that other processes who are willing to enter into its critical section can now be allowed.
9. signal(full) increases the counting semaphore variable full by 1, as on adding the item into the buffer, one space is occupied in the buffer and the variable full must be updated.
Semaphores used in Producer Code:
10.0wait(full) will decrease the value of the counting semaphore variable full by 1, that is when the consumer consumes some element then the value of the full space gets automatically decreased by one in the buffer. In case the buffer is empty, that is the value of the counting semaphore variable full is 0, then wait(full); will trap the process(as per definition of wait) and does not allow to go further.
11. wait(S) decreases the binary semaphore variable S to 0 so that no other process which is willing to enter into its critical section is allowed.
12. signal(S) increases the binary semaphore variable S to 1 so that other processes who are willing to enter into its critical section can now be allowed.
13. signal(empty) increases the counting semaphore variable empty by 1, as on removing an item from the buffer, one space is vacant in the buffer and the variable empty must be updated accordingly.
