What is the difference between mutex and semaphore?

Answer Posted / sreelakshmi

Mutex can be released only by the thread that had acquired
it where as in semaphore any thread can signal the
semaphore to release the critical section.

If the above concept is true why priority inversion problem
will occur ? The higher priority task can release the
semaphore from lower priority task for its execution....
