Deadlock Avoidance
nWe allow the 3 policy conditions but make judicious
choices to assure that the deadlock point is never reached
nAllows more concurrency than prevention
nTwo approaches:
udo not start a process if it’s demand might lead to deadlock
udo
not grant an incremental resource request if this allocation might lead to
deadlock
nIn both cases: maximum requirements of each resource
must be stated in advance
