C double face implementation implementation?

I am creating a multi-threaded application that uses double buffering, and I am trying to avoid a potential deadlock. The basic idea is that the clipboard stream blocks the write and read stream. However, the clipboard stream is fast, so locks will not remain blocked. Write and read streams are slower but efficiently allocate time fragments (target), since they block different mutexes. My question is a potential dead end with this design?

• 3 threads ... Thread A, Thread B and Thread C.
• 2 mutex ... Front Mutex and Mutex Back.

• Subject A fills the feedback buffer
• Thread B replaces the buffer.
• Stream C uses the front buffer.

• Thread A takes BackMutex, fills the back buffer, frees BackMutex.
• In thread C, theFrontMutex is taken, uses the front buffer, releases theFrontMutex.
• Thread B takes theBackMutex, theFrontMutex, swaps buffers, releases theBackMutex, frees Mutex Front

void *fill_back_buffer() {
    while(1) {
        if (0 != pthread_mutex_lock(&theBackMutex)) {
            perror("Mutex lock failed (!!):");
            exit(-1);
        }
        //should we get new data for back buffer?
        pthread_cond_wait(&theBackBufferRefresh, &theBackMutex);
        //fill back buffer
        if (0 != pthread_mutex_unlock(&theBackMutex)) {
            perror("Mutex lock failed (!!):");
            exit(-1);
        }
        //hey we done filling the back buffer!
        pthread_cond_signal(&theBackBufferFull);
    }
}


void *swap_buffers() {
    while(1) {
        if (0 != pthread_mutex_lock(&theBackMutex)) {
            perror("Mutex lock failed (!!):");
            exit(-1);
        }

        }
        //do we have new data in the back buffer?
        pthread_cond_wait(&theBackBufferFull, &theBackMutex);

        //swap buffers
        char* tmp;
        tmp = theBufferAPtr;
        theBufferAPtr = theBufferBPtr;
        theBufferBPtr = tmp;

        if (0 != pthread_mutex_unlock(&theFrontMutex)) {
            perror("Mutex lock failed (!!):");

            exit(-1); 
        }
        //hey please get more data!
        pthread_cond_signal(&theBackBufferRefresh);
        //hey you can use front buffer now!
        pthread_cond_signal(&theBufferSwapped);

    }
