Can this be resumed to “A consumer cannot be faster than the producer”?
- snovv_crash 7y agoThe infection is the other way around here, the producer thread is slowed down due to a low priority of the consumer. TLDR for article: the consumer has a lower priority and pauses on the context switch of the mutex lock, but doesn't get rescheduled for a while. The producer then has to wait for the consumer to get rescheduled and unlock the mutex before it can enqueue something.
