The CPU sets a predetermined value in the status variable corresponding to a thread when the thread starts waiting for a resource which it shares with other threads. The scheduler refers to the status variable, selects, with priority, a thread other than the thread waiting for the shared resource, and allocates the CPU to the thread thus selected.Other References
