Study Notes
Resource Allocation and Deadlocks
- A system consists of four processes (P1, P2, P3, P4) and three resources (A, B, C).
- Allocation and request matrices are used to track the allocation of resources to processes.
Deadlock Detection Example 1
- P1 is holding resource A, P2 is holding resource B, and P3 is holding resource C.
- P4 is not holding any resources and is waiting for resource A.
- Since P4 is not holding any resources, it is not deadlocked.
Deadlock Detection Example 2
- P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 are processes that request resources A, B, and C.
- A deadlock occurs if P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 cannot be marked (i.e., executed) due to unavailability of resources.
Concurrency and Deadlocks
- A deadlock occurs when a set of processes are blocked, each waiting for another process in the set to release a resource.
- A system is in a safe state if there exists a sequence of resource allocations that allows all processes to run to completion.
Resource Allocation Graphs
- A resource-allocation graph consists of vertices (processes and resources) and edges (requests and assignments).
- A cycle in the graph indicates a potential deadlock.
- If the graph contains no cycles, no process in the system is deadlocked.
