Deadlocks
Deadlocks are when processes in the same process or between processes compete for resources, which results in circular dependencies. Operating systems should avoid deadlocks as they consume resources and decrease overall performance of the system. hook lock latch operating systems use algorithms for resource allocation and scheduling processes to prevent deadlocks and detect them.

For example, if P1 is holding the tape drive R1 waiting for the release of the same drive by process P2, it is in a deadlock. If either process releases the resource it holds and the other process releases it, the other will take it and enter a deadlock too.
There are a variety of ways to prevent or resolve a deadlock. The most commonly used method is to use a deadlock detection algorithm. This algorithm detects deadlocks by looking for cycles on the resource-allocation diagram. The Banker's Algorithm is one of these algorithms that examines the status of each process for a cycle by analyzing the current allocation of resources.
A lock that is mutually exclusion is another way to avoid a deadlock.
