A possible solution for preven

A possible solution for preventing deadlocks is to have a single, higherorder resource that must be requested before any other resource. For example, if multiple threads attempt to access the synchronization objects A E, deadlock is possible. (Such synchronization objects may include mutexes, semaphores, condition variables, etc.) We can prevent the deadlock by adding a sixth object F. Whenever a thread wants to acquire the synchronization lock for any object A • • • E , it must first acquire the lock for object F. This solution is known as containment: The locks for objects A • • • E are contained within the lock for object F.
