Study Notes
Deadlock Conditions
- Deadlock occurs when a set of processes are blocked because each process is holding a resource and waiting for another resource acquired by some other process.
- Four necessary conditions for deadlock to arise: mutual exclusion, hold and wait, no preemption, and circular wait.
Mutual Exclusion
- Only one process at a time can use a resource.
Hold and Wait
- A process holding at least one resource is waiting to acquire additional resources held by other processes.
No Preemption
- A resource can be released only voluntarily by the process holding it, after that process has completed its task.
Circular Wait
- A set of waiting processes exists where P0 is waiting for a resource held by P1, P1 is waiting for a resource held by P2, ..., Pn–1 is waiting for a resource held by Pn, and Pn is waiting for a resource held by P0.
Resource Utilization
- Each resource type Ri has Wi instances.
- Each process utilizes a resource as follows: request → use → release.
