Deadlocks
Deadlocks are a kind of software defect that occur when processes within the same process or across multiple processes compete for resources in a manner that creates circular dependencies. Operating systems should be aware of deadlocks since they waste resources and decrease overall performance of the system. Many operating systems use algorithms for resource allocation and scheduling processes to detect and prevent deadlocks.
When a process is deadlock, it is unable to continue until it has the resource it needs. For instance, if process P1 is holding tape drive R1 and waiting for the release of the same tape drive by process P2, it is in a deadlock. If one process releases a resource it immediately, the other takes it and enters a deadlock.
There are a variety of ways to prevent or resolve a deadlock. The most commonly used method is to use deadlock detection algorithms. This algorithm identifies the deadlock by analyzing cycles in the resource-allocation graph. The Banker's Algorithm checks the status of a process by analyzing current resources.
Another method to avoid deadlocks is to prevent the dependency altogether by using a lock that has mutual exclusion. This type of lock is used to ensure that a process is able to only access its own resources, and not the resources of other processes. This is an efficient way to prevent deadlocks and allows greater security for your goods and van contents.
