In this video, we dive into one of the most important synchronization mechanisms in the Linux kernel
The Mutex
We start by understanding the problem of race conditions when multiple processes or threads access shared data simultaneously.
Then, using a practical kernel module example, we demonstrate what happens without synchronization and how a mutex helps ensure safe and consistent data access.
You’ll also see how mutex behaves in:
* Kernel threads
* User-space read/write operations
