Patent abstract
A resource access control mechanism for a multi-threaded computing environment associates a sequence of one or more mutexes with a resource. When a requesting thread attempts to access the resource, a mutex is locked and allocated to the requesting thread, and if a previous mutex in the sequence is present, an attempt to lock the previous mutex is made. If the previous mutex is already locked, the requesting thread is suspended until the previous mutex is unlocked.
