Deadlock is not really anything a user has to worry about. Deadlock is merely what happens when two objects want to make the use of each other's resource, but won't release the resource they have until they get the resource they want.
How this is usually prevented is to have an object drop ANY resource it no longer needs before trying to get a new resource. This is just one approach, as it doesn't stop deadlock if both objects need the resource they have but need a resource the other object needs.
What else can I help you with?
Is semaphore synchronize critical resources to prevent deadlock?
yes
What is the difference between deadlock preventation and dead lock detection?
The difference is exactly what you have just stated: deadlock prevention is used to stop deadlocks before they happen (to prevent them), while deadlock detection is used to figure out when a process has deadlocked (to detect it).
Is it possible to prevent deadlock using priority inheritance?
Yes, priority inheritance can help prevent deadlock by allowing lower-priority tasks that hold resources needed by higher-priority tasks to temporarily inherit the higher priority. This mechanism reduces the chances of priority inversion, where a low-priority task blocks a high-priority task, which can lead to deadlock. However, while priority inheritance can mitigate some conditions that lead to deadlock, it does not eliminate the possibility of deadlock entirely; proper design and resource allocation strategies are also necessary.
Why Bankers algorithm to avoid deadlock is called so?
It is called that so that the algorithm will prevent such a financial situation.
What are the various strategies are used to handle deadlock and what is centralized and distributed deadlock detection and prevention?
There are four strategies of dealing with deadlock problem:1. The Ostrich ApproachJust ignore the deadlock problem altogether.2. Deadlock Detection and RecoveryDetect deadlock and, when it occurs, take steps to recover.3. Deadlock AvoidanceAvoid deadlock by careful resource scheduling.4. Deadlock PreventionPrevent deadlock by resource scheduling so as to negate at least one of the four conditions.
