Chapter 12, Problem 12.28HW
Program Plan Intro

Deadlocks:

  • The deadlock denotes a situation where a collection of threads remains blocked.
  • It denotes waiting for a condition that will never be true.
  • The progress graph denotes invaluable tool for understanding deadlock.
  • If “P” and “V” operations are been ordered incorrectly, the forbidden regions for two semaphores would overlap.
  • If some execution trajectory reaches deadlock state “d” then no further progress is possible.
  • In this case each thread waits for the other one for a “V” operation that never occurs.
  • The overlapping forbidden regions would induce a set of states called “deadlock region”.
  • The deadlock is inevitable is trajectory touches a state in deadlock region.
  • Once it enters deadlock regions, the trajectories could never leave.

Mutex lock ordering rule:

  • A program is deadlock-free if each thread acquires its mutexes in order.
  • It releases them in reverse order and given a total ordering for all mutexes.
  • The mutex should be achieved in order to ensure deadlock free scheme.
