Resource Allocation Graph In Deadlock With Example Operating LINK: A Case Study



The resource allocation graph is the pictorial representation of the state of a system. As its name suggests, the resource allocation graph is the complete information about all the processes which are holding some resources or waiting for some resources.


Consider an example when two trains are coming toward each other on the same track and there is only one track, none of the trains can move once they are in front of each other. A similar situation occurs in operating systems when there are two or more processes that hold some resources and wait for resources held by other(s). For example, in the below diagram, Process 1 is holding Resource 1 and waiting for resource 2 which is acquired by process 2, and process 2 is waiting for resource 1.




Resource Allocation Graph In Deadlock With Example Operating LINK



For contradiction, assume that there is no circular wait. If notthen that means the resource allocation graph is acyclic, meaningthat there is at least one process that is not waiting on anyresource to be freed. Since the system can move forward, the systemis not deadlocked.


The proof is about as simple as it gets. Only one philosopher canrequest resources at a time. There is no way to make a cycle in theresource allocation graph with only one philosopher acting in pickup theleft then the right fork which is what we needed to show.


Some problems are that an entity either needs to know the finite set ofresources in advance or be able to produce a consistent partial ordersuch that circular wait cannot happen. This also implies that thereneeds to be some entity, either the operating system or another process,deciding on the number and all of the philosophers need to agree on thenumber as new resources come in. As we have also seen with previoussolutions, this relies on context switching. This prioritizesphilosophers that have already eaten but can be made fairer byintroducing random sleeps and waits.


Can someone help me or direct me a place where I can find an example solution for this?I know how to draw RAG(resource allocation graph) for reusable resources. But no idea how to draw this consumable RAG..Thanks.


While I can try out this on any given resource allocation graph and decide if there is deadlock or not, I want to know can we have a generalized rule for this which can tell what exactly it is which is contributing to the deadlock, especially in case of multiple instances of resources are there. I did not found any reference / book speaking of this clearly. So after a bit of thinking I came up with following fact:


I want to have your opinions on this, because the lecturer's answer is conflicting with mine. Lecturer says there is a deadlock here. But my answer was, since Py and Pz are not requesting a resource, they will simply continue their execution and terminate, releasing their resources. Then Px and Pw can obtain their requested resources and keep executing. It is obvious there is a cycle in this graph as Px-Pw but this doesn't conclude us to a deadlock. Thus I can't see a way to make "there is a deadlock here"conclusion.


In economics, the field of public finance deals with three broad areas: macroeconomic stabilization, the distribution of income and wealth, and the allocation of resources. Much of the study of the allocation of resources is devoted to finding the conditions under which particular mechanisms of resource allocation lead to Pareto efficient outcomes, in which no party's situation can be improved without hurting that of another party.


In strategic planning, resource allocation is a plan for using available resources, for example human resources, especially in the near term, to achieve goals for the future. It is the process of allocating scarce resources among the various projects or business units.[2]


What's one reason to generate a resource allocation graph when it comes to deadlock? This quiz and worksheet is an easy way to test your ability to answer this question and others about the basics of deadlock.


The diagram shown in the link ( =blob&qa_blobid=992651939091185654) is a resource allocation graph, not a wait for graph. In a wait for graph, only processes are represented as vertices. How to draw a wait for graph in the case of multiple instance resource? (P1 is actually not waiting for P2 to release a resource(because it is already available), so I think there would be no edge from P1 tto P2 in the wait for graph.


Thus, every cycle in a multi-instance resource type (In a system where each resource has more than one instance) wait-for graph (which is not even possible) is not a deadlock. Hence option B is False.


Exercises in deadlock prevention 1. A garden has four spades and three wheelbarrows. Four gardeners are working: - Gardener 1 needs to use two spades and two wheelbarrows. - Gardener 2 needs to use two spades and one wheelbarrows. - Gardener 3 needs to use one spades and two wheelbarrows. - Gardener 4 needs to use three spades and three wheelbarrows. At a certain point in time - Gardener 1 is using a wheelbarrow - Gardener 2 is using a spade - Gardener 3 is using a wheelbarrow - Gardener 4 is using two spades (a) Draw a resource allocation graph for this system (b) Is the system in a safe state? Prove using the bankers algorithm. (c) Gardener 1 wants to use another wheelbarrow. Should he be allowed to do this? Why? Exam 2011 2. A restaurant has two saucepans and two frying pans. Three chefs are cooking. - Chef 1 needs to use a frying pan and two saucepans. - Chef 2 needs to use two frying pans and a saucepan. - Chef 3 needs to use a frying pan and a saucepan. At a certain point in time - Chef 1 is using a frying pan. - Chef 2 is using a saucepan. - Chef 3 is using a frying pan. (a) Draw a Resource Allocation Graph for this system. (b) Is this system in a safe state? Prove using the safety algorithm. (c) Chef 3 decides not to use the saucepan. Is the system in a safe state? Prove. Exam 2003


1. Each request requires that the system consider the _____________ to decide whether the current request can be satisfied or must wait to avoid a future possible deadlock.a) resources currently availableb) processes that have previously been in the systemc) resources currently allocated to each processd) future requests and releases of each processView AnswerAnswer: aExplanation: None. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup ; adpushup.que = adpushup.que []; adpushup.que.push(function() adpushup.triggerAd("9f8aa9b5-2c42-4296-896e-70772ed1db59"); ); 2. Given a priori information about the ________ number of resources of each type that maybe requested for each process, it is possible to construct an algorithm that ensures that the system will never enter a deadlock state.a) minimumb) averagec) maximumd) approximateView AnswerAnswer: cExplanation: None.3. A deadlock avoidance algorithm dynamically examines the __________ to ensure that a circular wait condition can never exist.a) resource allocation stateb) system storage statec) operating systemd) resourcesView AnswerAnswer: aExplanation: Resource allocation states are used to maintain the availability of the already and current available resources.
