Please answer the following Operating Systems Quetion and its two parts: Part A: The four conditions (mutual exclusion, hold and wait, no preemption and circular wait) are necessary for a resource deadlock to occur. Give an example to show that these conditions are not sufficient for a resource deadlock to occur. When are these conditions sufficient for a resource deadlock to occur? Part B: A system has two processes and three identical resources. Each process needs a maximum of two resources. Is deadlock possible? Explain your answer.

A deadlock occurs when a group of processes is stalled because one process is holding a resource and waiting for another process to obtain it. Consider the situation when two trains are approaching each other on the same track and there is only one track: once they are in front of each other, neither train can proceed. In operating systems, a similar scenario happens when two or more processes possess certain resources while waiting on resources owned by other processes (s). In the picture below, Process 1 is holding Resource 1 and waiting for Process 2 to acquire Resource 2, while Process 2 is waiting for Resource 1. Give an example of a realistic deadlock avoidance approach and describe the basic strategy behind it.
Is it possible to have a deadlock involving only one single process? Explain your Consider a system consisting of four resources of the same type that are shared bythree processes, each of which needs at most two resources. Show that the system is deadlock- free.
List/explain 3 different ways that a system can recover from deadlock. Know the necessary conditions for deadlock and explanations of each. Why is it necessary to have an atomic instructions for providing access to a critical section? Consider a system with 5 processes (A, B, C, D and E) and 5 single instances of resources (Q, R, S, T, U) with given assignments (A holds R and wants T, C holds T and wants Q, etc). Construct a resource allocation graph. Determine if deadlock occurred. Draw a wait-for graph of the system. It's a C Programming
A set of waiting processes P0, P1, Pn must exist, with P0 waiting for a resource held by P1, P1 waiting for a resource held by P2,..., Pn-1 waiting for a resource held by Pn, and Pn waiting for a resource held by P0. The term "deadlock" is used to describe this situation.
5. A state is safe if the system can allocate resources to each process (up to its maximum) in some order and still avoid deadlock. Then a. deadlocked state is unsafe b. unsafe state may lead to a deadlock situation c. deadlocked state is a subset of unsafe state d. all of these
Consider a computer system with 3 processes and one resource with 4 instances. Each process needs at most 2 resource instances. Is a deadlock possible in this system? Justify your answer.
An operating system uses the Banker's algorithm for deadlock avoidance when managing the allocation of three resource types X, Ý, and Z to three processes PO, P1, and P2. The table given below presents the current system state. There are 3 instances of type X, 2 instances of type Y and 2 instances of type Z still available. The system is currently in a safe state. Answer the following questions! Allocation Max X Y z X Y PO 0 1 8 4 3 (a) If PO requests 2 instances of Z during the P1 3 2 current state, can it be granted? Explain! (b) If P1 requests 2 instances of X during the P2 2 1 1 3 3 3 current state, can it be granted? Explain! CO
Create a state machine diagram of operating system processes according to the following description: In general, processes are created and are then waiting to be scheduled if they are able to run. They might be blocking on some external condition (IO, semaphores, other synchronization,...) and might be therefore not able to run. If they are scheduled they are running. At any point they can become blocked due to some external condition. Processes can also be swapped out to the page file / swapping space, which can happen when they are waiting for some external condition or when they are waiting to be scheduled. We are assuming that processes can be terminated at any time.
Consider a system with five processes and three resource type. Resource type X has 7 instances, resource type Y has 10 instances and resource type Z has 5 instances. Suppose that at time 0, the following snapshot of the system has been taken. Suppose B request 2 additional instances of resource type X and 1 instance for resource type Y, can the request be granted? Is the system safe? If yes, what is the safe sequence?
A system has three processes (P1,P2, P3) and three resources (R1,R2, R3). There is one instance of R1 and R2. There are three instances of R3. P1 holds an R1 and is requesting an R3. P2 holds an R3 and is requesting an R1. P3 holds two instances of R3 and an R2. Does a deadlock exist? Justify your answer.
Draw a resource allocation graph for the following processes and resources. There are four processes running (P1, P2, P3 and P4) and four resources each with single instance (R1, R2, R3 and R4). P1 is holding R4 and requesting R2. P2 is holding R3 and requesting R4. P3 is holding R2 and requesting R1. P4 is holing R1. Is it a deadlock situation?
Consider a system consisting of four resources of the same type that are shared by three processes, each of which needs at most two resources. Show that the system is deadlock-free.
