#de fine MAX PROCESSES 255 int number of processes 0 /* the implementation of fork () calls this function */ int allocate process () int new pid; if (number of processesMAX PROCESSES) return -1; else / allocate necessary process resources */ ++number of processes; return new pid; / the implementation of exit) calls this function / void release process () / release process resources / --number of processes a. Identify the race condition(s). b. Assume you have a mutex lock named mutex with the operations acquire() and release(). Indicate where the locking needs to be placed to prevent the race condition(s) c. Could we replace the integer variable "int number of processes o" with the atomic integer "atomic_t number of processes - o" to prevent the race condition(s)
