This corresponds to the NT syscall NtCreateMutant(). An NT mutex is recursive, with a 32-bit recursion counter. When acquired via NtWaitForMultipleObjects(), the recursion counter is incremented by one. The OS records the thread which acquired it. The OS records the thread which acquired it. However, in order to keep this driver self-contained, the owning thread ID is managed by user-space, and passed as a parameter to all relevant ioctls. The initial owner and recursion count, if any, are specified when the mutex is created.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
