Hello all, I've got a little doubt for you guys... How the kernel handles Deadlocks and "deadlockable situations" ???
By avoiding them.
Is there any algorithm implemented for this kind of situation? Anyway for the kernel to avoid deadlocks ?
If you can spot a deadlock in the current code, please let everyone know so it can be fixed. There's no special "deadlock avoidance" algorithm in there except everyone doing their best to spot/avoid deadlocks. -- Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@xxxxxxxxx> Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
