hey i am preparing for the interview and in this the interview will ask to  od the follwoing i have some concept of os but not enough to be best at it please expain everything and give python answer
Part-B Question:
Let’s say you are running the lock/unlock in a multi core machine. Now you
want to let multiple threads to run lock() As we saw in part A, locking a
node has multiple validations inside. Will doing lock on two nodes
cause a race condition. If yes, how will you solve it. In short, how do
make the lock() function thread safe? - Multiple threads running it
simultaneously shouldn’t not affect the correctness. - Try to make the
critical sections more granular. ie. don’t create any big
atomic/synchronised blocks that will make parallelism suffer. Consider
each operation is atomic.
explore all methods algos the interviewer can ask anything realted in any method to do explain every thign in detail expalin everything from start do it good do it proper and for code parts wrap it around

heres the part a code 
# Question 1: Locking the Tree of Space
# You have a world map represented as an M-Ary tree (sample tree below):

# You need to define three operations on it:
# lock(X, uid)
# unlock(X, uid)
# upgradeLock(X, uid)
# Where X is the name of a node in the tree (which is unique), and uid is the user performing the operation.
# Definitions for the Operations:
# Lock(X, uid):
# Lock takes exclusive access on the subtree rooted at X. Once lock(X, uid) succeeds:
# lock(A, anyUserId) should fail (returns false), where A is a descendant of X.
# lock(B, anyUserId) should fail (returns false), where X is a descendant of B.
# Lock operation cannot be performed on a node that is already locked, i.e., lock(X, anyUserId) should fail (returns false).
# Unlock(X, uid):
# Unlock reverts what was done by the lock operation. It can only be called on the same node on which user uid had called a lock before. Returns true if successful.
# UpgradeLock(X, uid):
# This helps the user uid upgrade their lock to an ancestor node. It is only possible if the node X already has locked descendants and all of them are locked by the same user uid. Upgrade should fail if there is any node which is a descendant of X that is locked by a different user. A successful upgrade will "lock" the node. UpgradeLock must not violate the consistency model required by Lock/Unlock.
# Notes:
# The number of nodes in the tree, N, is very large, so optimize the time complexity for the above algorithms.
# Input Format:
# The first line contains the number of nodes in the tree (N).
# The second line contains the number of children per node (m in an m-ary tree).
# The third line contains the number of queries (Q).
# Next N lines contain the NodeName (string) in the m-Ary Tree.
# The next Q lines contain queries in the format: OperationType NodeName UserId.
# Operation Type:
# 1 for Lock
# 2 for Unlock
# 3 for UpgradeLock
# NodeName: The name of any node (unique) in the m-Ary Tree.
# UserId: An integer representing a unique user.
# Example Input:
# 7
# 2
# 3
# World
# Asia
# Africa
# China
# India
# South Africa
# Egypt
# 1 China 9
# 2 India 9
# 3 Asia 9


# This input represents a 2-ary tree with 7 nodes as follows:
#            World
#            /     \
#       Asia        Africa
#      /    \       /     \
#  China  India  South Africa  Egypt


# Additional Notes:
# The tree is always fully balanced.
# Constraints:
# (1 < N < 5 \times 10^5)
# (1 < m < 30)
# (1 < Q < 5 \times 10^5)
# (1 < \text{length of NodeName} < 20)
# Optimize the time complexity:
# Lock: (O(\log_m N))
# Unlock: (O(\log_m N))
# UpgradeLock: (O(\text{numberOfLockedNodes} \times \log_m N))
# The lock operation on an already locked node should fail.
# Once UpgradeLock(X, uid) succeeds on X, it is equivalent to X being locked by uid. As per the definition, Lock(A/B, anyUser) should fail, and Unlock(X, uid) should also work.
# Upgrade lock operation on a node having no locked descendants should fail, and upgrade lock on an already locked node should also fail.
