Hold and wait
No preemption
Circular wait - 3We can deal with deadlocks in one of three ways:• Use a protocol to prevent or avoid deadlocks
• Allow the system to enter a deadlocked state, detect it, and recover
• Ignore the problem altogether - 4Deadlock PreventionProvides a set of methods to ensure that at least one of the necessary conditions cannot hold.
