Deadlocks
Deadlocks occur when processes in the same process or between processes are competing for resources, resulting in circular dependencies. Deadlocks are not recommended in operating systems due to the fact that they consume resources, which can reduce overall system performance and responsiveness. A lot of operating systems employ algorithms for resource allocation and scheduling processes to detect and prevent deadlocks.
When a process is a deadlock, it cannot proceed until it acquires the resource it needs. For example, if process P1 holds tape drive R1 and is waiting for process P2 to release the same drive then it is in deadlock. If either process releases the resource it is holding it will then take it and enter a deadlock too.
There are many ways of solving deadlocks or preventing them. The most common way to fix deadlocks is through deadlock detection. This algorithm identifies the deadlock by analyzing cycles in the resource allocation graph. The Banker's Algorithm analyzes the state of a process through analyzing the current resource.

The first thread then executes the statement block.

If a transaction acquires an intent lock on a table (I) the lock prevents any other transaction from acquiring a Shared Lock or a Write ROW lock for that table so long as the transaction is in possession of the intent lock.
