Conditions for a Deadlock To Occur

No Preemption: no resource can be forcibly removed from a process holding it.If a process that is holding some resources requests another resource that cannot be immediately allocated to it, then all resources currently being held are released implicitly. Then the preempted resources are added to the list of resources for which the process is waiting. 


Circular Wait: a closed chain of processes exists, such that each process holds at least one resource needed by the next process in the chain. Circular wait condition applies, since each vehicle is waiting on the next vehicle to move. That is, each vehicle in the traffic is waiting for a section of street held by the next vehicle in the traffic.

The other programs are called applications or application programs. The application programs make use of the operating system by making requests for services through a defined application program interface (API). In addition, users can interact directly with the operating system through a user interface such as a command language or a graphical user interface (GUI). An operating system performs these services for applications:     In a multitasking operating system where multiple programs can be running at the same time, the operating system determines which applications should run in what order and how much time should be allowed for each application before g...
