Which of the following is not true with respect to deadlock prevention and deadlock avoidance schemes?

Which of the following is not true with respect to deadlock prevention and deadlock avoidance schemes? Correct Answer In deadlock prevention, the request for resources is always granted if resulting state is safe

Concepts:

Deadlock prevention can be done by eliminating any of the below condition:

1. Mutual Exclusion

2. Hold and wait

3. No preemption

4. Circular Wait.

In deadlock prevention, the request for resources is not always granted if the resulting state is safe.

Deadlock avoidance can be done with Banker’s Algorithm.

Banker’s Algorithm

Banker’s Algorithm is resource allocation and deadlock avoidance algorithm which test all the request made by processes for resources, it checks for the safe state, if after granting request system remains in the safe state it allows the request and if there is no safe state it doesn’t allow the request made by the process. Deadlock avoidance requires knowledge of resource requirements a priori

Comparison

Deadlock prevention is more restrictive than deadlock avoidance.

Therefore statement 1 is false

An operating system uses the Banker’s algorithm for deadlock avoidance when managing the allocation of three resource types X, Y, and Z to three processes P0, P1, and P2. The table given below presents the current system state. Here, the Allocation matrix shows the current number of resources of each type allocated to each process and the Max matrix shows the maximum number of resources of each type required by each process during its execution.   Allocation Max   X Y Z X Y Z P0 0 0 1 8 4 3 P1 3 2 0 6 2 0 P2 2 1 1 3 3 3   There are 3 units of type X, 2 units of type Y and 2 units of type Z still available. The system is currently in a safe state. Consider the following independent requests for additional resources in the current state: REQ1: P0 requests 0 units of X, 0 units of Y and 2 units of Z REQ2: P1 requests 2 units of X, 0 units of Y and 0 units of Z Which one of the following is TRUE?
In a system, there are three types of resources and four processes that execute concurrently. At the outset, the processes have declared their maximum resource requirements using a matrix named Max as given below. For example, Max[ ] is the maximum number of instances of that would require. The number of instances of the resources allocated to the various processes at any given state is given by a matrix named Allocation. Consider a state of the system with the Allocation matrix as shown below, and in which 3 instances of E and 3 instances of F are the only resources available. Allocation   E F G P0 1 0 1 P1 1 1 2 P2 1 0 3 P3 2 0 0   Max   E F G P0 4 3 1 P1 2 1 4 P2 1 3 3 P3 5 4 1   From the perspective of deadlock avoidance, which one of the following is true?
