Mutex
A mutex provides mutual exclusion, either the producer or consumer can have the key (mutex) and proceed with their work. As long as the buffer is filled by producer, the consumer needs to wait, and vice versa. At any point in time, only one thread can work with the entire buffer. The concept can be generalized using semaphore.
