Give a better method. Discuss how such a method might be implemented on a multiprocessor system where several threads could in fact attempt enterMutualExclusion() at precisely the same moment.
What will be an ideal response?
A better method would be to choose the threads on a first-come-first-served basis or use some other method that would prevent indefinite postponement. Unfortunately, when threads arrive at the exact same time, we cannot use FCFS meaningfully. So in a multiprocessor system, we might use the processor’s unique processor-ID to prioritize the requests that arrive at the same moment. In a uniprocessor system, only one thread at a time can attempt enterMutualExclusion(), so it is feasible to use a FCFS strategy.
