Mutex: Suppose we have critical section thread T1 wants to access it then it follows below steps. T1:
Binary semaphore: It works based on signaling wait and signal. wait(s) decrease "s" value by one usually "s" value is initialize with value "1", signal(s) increases "s" value by one. if "s" value is 1 means no one is using critical section, when value is 0 means critical section is in use. suppose thread T2 is using critical section then it follows below steps. T2 :
Main difference between Mutex and Binary semaphore is in Mutext if thread lock the critical section then it has to unlock critical section no other thread can unlock it, but in case of Binary semaphore if one thread locks critical section using wait(s) function then value of s become "0" and no one can access it until value of "s" become 1 but suppose some other thread calls signal(s) then value of "s" become 1 and it allows other function to use critical section. hence in Binary semaphore thread doesn't have ownership.
