In the above implementation of the semget system call, we initialize the Resource Identifier field of the per-process resource table entry to 1 before acquiring a semaphore.
This causes an issue where, if no semaphores are available, the function returns -2, but the resource identifier remains set to 1. As a result, the process ends up holding an unused and inconsistent resource identifier.
Proposed Solution:
Move the initialization of the Resource Identifier field to after successfully acquiring a semaphore.
This change ensures that the resource identifier is assigned only when a semaphore has been successfully allocated, maintaining consistency in the resource table.
