writer() { P(w) WRITE V(w) reader() { P (mutex) reading++ if(reading == 1) P(w) v (mutex) READ P (mutex) reading-- if (reading == 0) V(w) V (mutex) Initially: mutex = w = 1; reading = 0 writer() { P(w) WRITE V(w) reader() { P (mutex) reading++ if(reading == 1) P(w) v (mutex) READ P (mutex) reading-- if (reading == 0) V(w) V (mutex) Initially: mutex = w = 1; reading = 0
