Processes that block on a mutex are granted the lock in FIFO order, rather than priority order. In order to avoid priority inversion, the mutex wait queue implements priority lending.
Ok. I remember I have read somewhere that solaris 7 has given up the behavior of waking up only one thread after a mutex is released, now it wakes up all the blocking threads. It seems that the "thundering herd" problem is not serious after all if the lock granuity is high enough.
I don't think this is the case.
Whoops. The article is broken into two web pages, and the second page states exactly what you said: as of Solaris 7, all waiting threads are woken up.
