A deadlock is a situation in which two computer programs sharing the same resource are effectively preventing each other from accessing it. One program at a time was the norm for the earliest computer operating systems.
A set of processes or threads are deadlocked when one of them waits for another to free a resource which is controlled by another process.
It’s not possible to have a stalemate with only one process. One process can’t hold a resource, yet be waiting for another, because of the deadlock.
There are two types of deadlocks.
Resource Deadlock It happens when processes are trying to get exclusive access. li>Communication Deadlock./li>
Deadlock has four essential conditions.
Mutual exclusive access to resources. A resource is not shared with other processes. Resources can’t be taken away from a process. Wait and hold. A process has some resources that are being blocked.
Is there a reason for the deadlock?
The other process is preventing the other process from obtaining exclusive access to the resource. Both processes can’t proceed in a standoff. The only way out of a stalemate is for one process to end.
How is a system deadlocked?
Deadlock is introduced in Operating System 1 Hold and Wait. A resource can’t be taken from a process unless it is released. There are three processes waiting for each other.
Which is the best way to end a stalemate?
A process is holding at least one resource and waiting. Unless the process releases the resource, a resource cannot be taken from it. A set of processes are waiting. There are methods for dealing with deadlock.
The resource scheduler has deadlocks.
When each process requests another drive, the three processes will have a stalemate as each process waits for the drive to be released. A circular chain will be created. The resource scheduler can detect a deadlock.
Which is an example of a stalemate?
A process is waiting for the resource held by the second process, which is waiting for the resource held by the third process, which is waiting for the resource held by the first process, and so on. The chain is circular. Process 1 is allocated Resource2 and it is requesting Resource 1.
