Deadlock Avoidance (Deadlock Avoidance)

Description

A deadlock means that the processing of some parts, once started, cannot finish because each of these parts requests for its advancement some resource(s) currently held by some other part(s) in this set.

In a deadlock avoidance approach, the controller must ensure that the granting of resources to any process will lead to a resulting state which is “safe,” i.e., a state from which all the parts being processed can terminate.
