Question:

Consider the following solution to the mutual-exclusion problem involving two processes P0 and P1. Assume that the variable turn is initialized to 0. Process P0's code is presented below.
/* Other code */
while (turn != 0) { } /* Do nothing and wait. */
Cr itical Section /* . . . */
tur n = 0;
/* Other code */
For process P1, replace 0 by 1 in above code. Determine if the solution meets all the required conditions for a correct mutual-exclusion solution.
