EXERCISE 4.3.1: Implementation of general semaphores. In the implementation of general semaphores, some of the Vb operations are executed only conditionally. Label the Pb and Vb operations as shown below and determine which Pb/Vb pair is executed in each of the three cases: P(s) { Pb1: Pb(ms) s = s - 1 if (s < 0) Vb1: Vb(ms) block self on s Vb2: Vb(ms) } (a) P(s) is executed when s > 0 (b) V(s) is executed when s >= 0 (c) P(s) is executed when s <= 0, followed by a V(s) V(s) { Pb2: Pb(ms) s = s + 1 if (s <= 0) reactivate a process else Vb3: Vb(ms) } Feedback?

In the implementation of general semaphores, some of the Vb operations are executed only conditionally. Label the Pb and Vb
operations as shown below and determine which Pb/Vb pair is executed in each of the three cases:
P(s) {
Pb1:
Pb(ms)
s = s - 1
if (s < 0)
Vb1:
Vb(ms)
block self on s
Vb2:
