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.
yes
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).
It is called that so that the algorithm will prevent such a financial situation.
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.
Use Linux?
The antonym for deadlock is agreement.
The only product McAfee has for Linux is McAfee LinuxShield. It is intended for large businesses with Linux servers, to prevent Windows viruses from passing through the system.
