Outline • Announcement • Deadlock – Deadlock definition - review – Conditions for a deadlock to occur - review – Deadlock prevention – review – Deadlock avoidance – Deadlock detection and recovery 3/2/2021 COP 4610 1
Announcement • Homework #4 – Is due on Nov. 13, 2003 – Not on Nov. 11, 2003 (given in the handout) 3/2/2021 COP 4610 2
The Deadlock Problem • A set of blocked processes each holding a resource and waiting to acquire a resource held by another process in the set. • Example – System has 2 tape drives, one CD-ROM and one DAT drive. – P 1 and P 2 each hold one tape drive and each needs another one. 3/2/2021 COP 4610 3
Two-process deadlock 3/2/2021 COP 4610 4
Deadlock Examples – cont. 3/2/2021 COP 4610 5
Deadlock Examples – cont. 3/2/2021 COP 4610 6
Deadlock Characterization • Deadlock can arise only if four conditions hold simultaneously – – Mutual exclusion Hold and wait: No preemption Circular wait 3/2/2021 COP 4610 7
Deadlock Characterization • Mutual exclusion – only one process at a time can use a resource. • Hold and wait: – a process holding at least one resource is waiting to acquire additional resources held by other processes. 3/2/2021 COP 4610 8
Deadlock Characterization • No preemption – a resource can be released only voluntarily by the process holding it, after that process has completed its task. • Circular wait – there exists a set {P 0, P 1, …, P 0} of waiting processes such that P 0 is waiting for a resource that is held by P 1, P 1 is waiting for a resource that is held by P 2, …, Pn– 1 is waiting for a resource that is held by Pn, and P 0 is waiting for a resource that is held by P 0. 3/2/2021 COP 4610 9
A Model • • P = {p 1, p 2, …, pn} be a set of processes R = {R 1, R 2, …, Rm} be a set of resources cj = number of units of Rj in the system S = {S 0, S 1, …} be a set of states representing the assignment of Rj to pi – State changes when processes take action – This allows us to identify a deadlock situation in the operating system 3/2/2021 COP 4610 10
Resources Resource: Anything that a process can request, then be blocked because that thing is not available. R = {Rj | 0 j < m} = resource types C = {cj 0 | Rj R (0 j < m)} = units of Rj available Reusable resource: After a unit of the resource has been allocated, it must ultimately be released back to the system. E. g. , CPU, primary memory, disk space, … The maximum value for cj is the number of units of that resource Consumable resource: There is no need to release a resource after it has been acquired. E. g. , a message, input data, … Notice that cj is unbounded. 3/2/2021 COP 4610 11
Using the Model • There is a resource manager, Mgr(Rj) for every Rj • Process pi can request units of Rj if it is currently running pi can only request ni cj units of reusable Rj pi can request unbounded # of units of consumable Rj • Mgr(Rj) can allocate units of Rj to pi request Mgr(Rj) Process allocate 3/2/2021 COP 4610 12
A Generic Resource Manager Blocked Processes Policy Process request() Process release() Resource Pool 3/2/2021 COP 4610 13
Using the Model – cont. • In most cases, we assume that each process utilizes a resource as follows – request • If the requested resources are not available, the calling process will be blocked – use – release – Which implies that we are dealing with reusable resources 3/2/2021 COP 4610 14
State Transitions • The system changes state because of the action of some process, pi • There are three pertinent actions: – Request (“ri”): request one or more units of a resource – Allocation (“ai”): All outstanding requests from a process for a given resource are satisfied – Deallocation (“di”): The process releases units of a resource Sj 3/2/2021 xi Sk COP 4610 15
Properties of States • Want to define deadlock in terms of patterns of transitions • Define: pi is blocked in Sj if pi cannot cause a transition out of Sj a 1 r 3 Sj r 1 3/2/2021 COP 4610 p 2 is blocked in Sj 16
Properties of States - cont. • If pi is blocked in Sj, and will also be blocked in every Sk reachable from Sj, then pi is deadlocked • Sj is called a deadlock state 3/2/2021 COP 4610 17
State Diagram – cont. - State diagram of one process with one resource of two units Under the single unit allocation/release assumption 3/2/2021 COP 4610 18
State Diagram – cont. 3/2/2021 COP 4610 19
Resource-Allocation Graph • A set of vertices V and a set of edges E. – V is partitioned into two types: • P = {P 1, P 2, …, Pn}, the set consisting of all the processes in the system • R = {R 1, R 2, …, Rm}, the set consisting of all resource types in the system – request edge – directed edge P 1 Rj – assignment edge – directed edge Rj Pi 3/2/2021 COP 4610 20
Resource-Allocation Graph - cont. • Process • Resource Type with 4 instances • Pi requests instance of Rj • Pi is holding an instance of Rj Pi Rj 3/2/2021 COP 4610 21
Example of a Resource Allocation Graph 3/2/2021 COP 4610 22
Another Example of a Resource Allocation Graph 3/2/2021 COP 4610 23
Yet Another Example of Resource Allocation Graph 3/2/2021 COP 4610 24
Basic Facts • If graph contains no cycles no deadlock. • If graph contains a cycle – if only one instance per resource type, then deadlock. – if several instances per resource type, possibility of deadlock. 3/2/2021 COP 4610 25
Dealing with Deadlocks • Three ways – Prevention • place restrictions on resource requests to make deadlock impossible – Avoidance • plan ahead to avoid deadlock. – Recovery • detect when deadlock occurs and recover from it 3/2/2021 COP 4610 26
Deadlock Prevention • Restrain the ways that request can be made. • Mutual Exclusion – not required for sharable resources; must hold for nonsharable resources. • Hold and Wait – must guarantee that whenever a process requests a resource, it does not hold any other resources. – Require process to request and be allocated all its resources before it begins execution, or allow process to request resources only when the process has none. – Low resource utilization; starvation possible. 3/2/2021 COP 4610 27
Deadlock Prevention – cont. - Requesting all resources before starting 3/2/2021 COP 4610 28
Deadlock Prevention – cont. - Release of all resources before requesting more 3/2/2021 COP 4610 29
Deadlock Prevention - cont. • No Preemption – – 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. – Preempted resources are added to the list of resources for which the process is waiting. – Process will be restarted only when it can regain its old resources, as well as the new ones that it is requesting. 3/2/2021 COP 4610 30
Deadlock Prevention - cont. • Circular Wait – Impose a total ordering of all resource types, and require that each process requests resources in an increasing order of enumeration • In other words, assuming Ri < Rj if i < j, we only a process to acquire a resource Rj if it has acquired all other resources Ri, for i <j – Here we assume F(Ri)=i – Semaphore example • semaphores A and B, initialized to 1 P 0 P 1 wait (A); wait(A) wait (B); wait(B) 3/2/2021 COP 4610 31
Deadlock Prevention - cont. 3/2/2021 COP 4610 32
Deadlock Prevention - cont. 3/2/2021 COP 4610 33
Deadlock Avoidance • Requires that the system has some additional a priori information available • Simplest and most useful model requires that each process declare the maximum number of resources of each type that it may need • The deadlock-avoidance algorithm dynamically examines the resource-allocation state to ensure that there can never be a circular-wait condition • Resource-allocation state is defined by the number of available and allocated resources, and the maximum demands of the processes 3/2/2021 COP 4610 34
Safe State • When a process requests an available resource, system must decide if immediate allocation leaves the system in a safe state. • System is in safe state if there exists a safe sequence of all processes. • Sequence <P 1, P 2, …, Pn> is safe if for each Pi, the resources that Pi can still request can be satisfied by currently available resources + resources held by all the Pj, with j < i. – If Pi resource needs are not immediately available, then Pi can wait until all Pj have finished. – When Pj is finished, Pi can obtain needed resources, execute, return allocated resources, and terminate. – When Pi terminates, Pi+1 can obtain its needed resources, and so on. 3/2/2021 COP 4610 35
Basic Facts • If a system is in safe state no deadlocks. • If a system is in unsafe state possibility of deadlock. • Avoidance ensure that a system will never enter an unsafe state. 3/2/2021 COP 4610 36
Comments on Safe State • It is a worst case analysis – If every process were to request its maximum claim, there would be a sequence of allocations and deallocations that could enable the system to satisfy every process’s request in some order • It does not mean that the system must have enough resources to simultaneously meet all the maximum claims 3/2/2021 COP 4610 37
Safe State Strategy 3/2/2021 COP 4610 38
Safe, unsafe , deadlock state spaces 3/2/2021 COP 4610 39
Banker’s Algorithm • Each process must a priori claim maximum use. • When a process requests a resource it may have to wait. • When a process gets all its resources it must return them in a finite amount of time. 3/2/2021 COP 4610 40
Data Structures for the Banker’s Algorithm Let n = number of processes, and m = number of resources types. • Available – Vector of length m. If available [j] = k, there are k instances of resource type Rj available. • Max – n x m matrix. If Max [i, j] = k, then process Pi may request at most k instances of resource type Rj. • Allocation – n x m matrix. If Allocation[i, j] = k then Pi is currently allocated k instances of Rj. • Need – n x m matrix. If Need[i, j] = k, then Pi may need k more instances of Rj to complete its task. • Need [i, j] = Max[i, j] – Allocation [i, j] 3/2/2021 COP 4610 41
Safety Algorithm 1. Let Work and Finish be vectors of length m and n, respectively. Initialize: Work : = Available Finish [i] = false for i - 1, 2, 3, …, n. 2. Find and i such that both: (a) Finish [i] = false (b) Needi Work If no such i exists, go to step 4. 3. Work : = Work + Allocationi Finish[i] : = true go to step 2. 4. If Finish [i] = true for all i, then the system is in a safe state. 3/2/2021 COP 4610 42
Example of Banker’s Algorithm • 5 processes P 0 through P 4; 3 resource types A (10 instances), B (5 instances, and C (7 instances). • Snapshot at time T 0: Allocation Max Available ABC ABC P 0 010 753 332 P 1 200 322 P 2 302 902 P 3 211 222 P 4 002 433 3/2/2021 COP 4610 43
Example - cont. • The content of the matrix. Need is defined to be Max – Allocation Need Available Work ABC ABC P 0 010 743 332 P 1 200 122 P 2 302 600 P 3 211 011 P 4 002 431 • The system is in a safe state since the sequence < P 1, P 3, P 4, P 2, P 0> satisfies safety criteria. 3/2/2021 COP 4610 44
Resource-Request Algorithm for Process Pi Requesti = request vector for process Pi. If Requesti [j] = k then process Pi wants k instances of resource type Rj. 1. If Requesti Needi go to step 2. Otherwise, raise error condition, since process has exceeded its maximum claim. 2. If Requesti Available, go to step 3. Otherwise Pi must wait, since resources are not available. 3. Pretend to allocate requested resources to Pi by modifying the state as follows: • • 3/2/2021 Available : = Available = Requesti; Allocationi : = Allocationi + Requesti; Needi : = Needi – Requesti; ; If safe the resources are allocated to Pi. If unsafe Pi must wait, and the old resource-allocation state is restored COP 4610 45
Example: P 1 request (1, 0, 2) • Check that Request Available (that is, (1, 0, 2) (3, 3, 2) true. ) Allocation Need Available ABC ABC P 0 010 743 230 P 1 302 020 P 2 301 600 P 3 211 011 P 4 002 431 • Executing safety algorithm shows that sequence <P 1, P 3, P 4, P 0, P 2> satisfies safety requirement. 3/2/2021 COP 4610 46
Example Continued Allocation Need Available A B CA B C P 0 010 743 230 P 1 302 020 P 2 301 600 P 3 211 011 P 4 002 431 • Can an additional request for (3, 3, 0) by P 4 be granted? • Can an additional request for (0, 2, 0) by P 0 be granted? 3/2/2021 COP 4610 47
Banker’s Algorithm • Let maxc[i, j] be the maximum claim for Rj by pi • Let alloc[i, j] be the number of units of Rj held by pi • Can always compute – avail[j] = cj - S 0 i< nalloc[i, j] – Then number of available units of Rj • Should be able to determine if the state is safe or not using this info 3/2/2021 COP 4610 48
Banker’s Algorithm • Copy the alloc[i, j] table to alloc’[i, j] • Given C, maxc and alloc’, compute avail vector • Find pi: maxc[i, j] - alloc’[i, j] avail[j] for 0 j < m and 0 i < n. – If no such pi exists, the state is unsafe – If alloc’[i, j] is 0 for all i and j, the state is safe • Set alloc’[i, j] to 0; deallocate all resources held by pi; go to Step 2 3/2/2021 COP 4610 49

Deadlock Detection and Recovery • Allow system to enter deadlock state • Detection algorithm • Recovery scheme 3/2/2021 COP 4610 54
Deadlock Detection and Recovery – cont. • Check for deadlock (periodically or sporadically), then recover • Can be far more aggressive with allocation • No maximum claim, no safe/unsafe states • Differentiate between – Serially reusable resources: A unit must be allocated before being released – Consumable resources: Never release acquired resources; resource count is number currently available 3/2/2021 COP 4610 55
Deadlock Detection Algorithm • Available: A vector of length m indicates the number of available resources of each type. • Allocation: An n x m matrix defines the number of resources of each type currently allocated to each process. • Request: An n x m matrix indicates the current request of each process. If Request [ij] = k, then process Pi is requesting k more instances of resource type. Rj. 3/2/2021 COP 4610 56
Detection Algorithm 1. Let Work and Finish be vectors of length m and n, respectively Initialize: (a) Work : = Available (b) For i = 1, 2, …, n, if Allocationi 0, then Finish[i] : = false; otherwise, Finish[i] : = true. 2. Find an index i such that both: (a) Finish[i] = false (b) Requesti Work If no such i exists, go to step 4. 3. (a) Work : = Work + Allocationi; (b) Finish[i] : = true; go to step 2. 4. If Finish[i] = false, for some i, 1 i n, then the system is in deadlock state. Moreover, if Finish[i] = false, then Pi is deadlocked. Algorithm requires an order of m x n 2 operations to detect whether the system is in deadlocked state. 3/2/2021 COP 4610 57

Deadlock Detection • May have a CRG that is not completely reducible, but it is not a deadlock state • For each process: – Find at least one sequence which leaves each process unblocked. • There may be different sequences for different processes -- not necessarily an efficient approach 3/2/2021 COP 4610 83
Deadlock Detection • May have a CRG that is not completely reducible, but it is not a deadlock state • Only need to find sequences, which leave each process unblocked. p 0 3/2/2021 p 1 COP 4610 84
Deadlock Detection • May have a CRG that is not completely reducible, but it is not a deadlock state • Only need to find a set of sequences, which leaves each process unblocked. 3/2/2021 COP 4610 85
General Resource Graphs • Have consumable and reusable resources • Apply consumable reductions to consumables, and reusable reductions to reusables • See Figure 10. 29 3/2/2021 COP 4610 86

Detection-Algorithm Usage • When, and how often, to invoke depends on: – How often a deadlock is likely to occur? – How many processes will need to be rolled back? • one for each disjoint cycle • If detection algorithm is invoked arbitrarily, there may be many cycles in the resource graph and so we would not be able to tell which of the many deadlocked processes “caused” the deadlock. 3/2/2021 COP 4610 90
Recovery from Deadlock: Process Termination • Abort all deadlocked processes. – Roll back to a previous checkpoint • Abort one process at a time until the deadlock cycle is eliminated. • In which order should we choose to abort? – Priority of the process. – How long process has computed, and how much longer to completion. – Resources the process has used. – Resources process needs to complete. – How many processes will need to be terminated. – Is process interactive or batch? 3/2/2021 COP 4610 91
Recovery from Deadlock: Resource Preemption • Selecting a victim – minimize cost. • Rollback – return to some safe state, restart process from that state. • Starvation – same process may always be picked as victim, include number of rollback in cost factor. 3/2/2021 COP 4610 92
Combined Approach to Deadlock Handling • Combine three basic approaches – prevention – avoidance – detection • Allowing the use of the optimal approach for each of resources in the system. • Partition resources into hierarchically ordered classes. • Use most appropriate technique for handling deadlocks within each class. 3/2/2021 COP 4610 93
Summary • Deadlock is a situation where a set of blocked processes are waiting for each other • Three ways to deal with deadlocks – Deadlock prevention – Deadlock avoidance – Deadlock recovery 3/2/2021 COP 4610 94
