Question about synchronization object

[duanwujie]

Hi, Phi and Jan:

I have question about  synchronization object.Consider under condition.

*
*

*Thread A*

     mutex_lock(lock)  //O1

     ...

     ...

     mutex_unlock(lock)//O2

*Thread B*

     mutex_lock(lock) //O3

     ....

     ....

     mutex_unlock(lock);


O1:  become xnsynch's owner.

O3:  blocked to wait thread A unlock mutex.

O2:  this will call sc_cobalt_mutex_unlock syscall then transfer owner 
to thread B.

        But in the xnsynch_release's  "likely condition" seems that  
transfer_ownership will  not be called. Therefore, how to resume thread B ?

       Is there something i misunderstood  for xnsynch_fast_release ?


struct xnthread *xnsynch_release(struct xnsynch *synch,
                  struct xnthread *thread)
{
    /* .................................. */
     if (likely(xnsynch_fast_release(lockp, threadh)))//This condition
         return NULL;

     return transfer_ownership(synch, thread);
}
