There are three strategies for deadlock handling: deadlock prevention, deadlock avoidance, and deadlock recovery1 [321]. In deadlock prevention, resources (channels or buffers) are granted to a packet in such a way that a request never leads to a deadlock. It can be achieved by reserving...
Both of these approaches avoid deadlock because they ensure that no thread ever holds more than one lock at a time. This is a sufficient but not necessary condition for avoiding deadlock because it cannot lead to a cycle of waiting. A much more flexible sufficient-but-not-necessary strategy...
This is one of the widely used methods to handle the deadlock. In this method, the OS assumes that deadlock will never occur.If there is a condition of deadlock, the OS will reboot the system.This method is very popular where OS is for the end-users. Deadlock ignorance approaches are...
Sorry, there has not been any progress on this area since the last update. I am hoping to start a complete review of the InnoDB locking rules some day. There are two approaches to deadlock avoidance. One would be posting the lock requests in the same order in all threads, like MySQL ...
