deadlock
mutual exclusion
lockout
starvation
Multiple processes that block each other indefinitely from entering a critical section are creating _____________.
mutual exclusion
starvation
deadlock
logout
Using semaphores.
s = 0 initially.

A monitor is a low-level kernel function that implements a priority queue.
True or false
Processes can access and modify monitor variables without having to call the monitor's functions.
True
False
The correct monitor implementation of c.wait places the calling process in a waiting queue.
True
False
Using a monitor with a priority queue
Process p1 calls wakeme(7) at time now = 2
Process p2 calls wakeme(2) at time now = 4
Process p3 calls wakeme(6) at time now = 1
