Explain the concept of deadlock and how it can be prevented.

  • Deadlock can be resolved by forcefully terminating one of the processes involved.
  • Deadlock is a situation where a process cannot proceed because it's waiting for a resource held by another process.
  • Deadlock is prevented by resource allocation strategies such as deadlock avoidance and deadlock detection.
  • Deadlock occurs when two or more processes are waiting indefinitely for resources held by each other.
Deadlock prevention involves strategies like resource allocation ordering, ensuring that resources are never allocated in a way that could lead to a circular wait condition, thereby avoiding deadlocks.
