What is the difference between Deadlock Detection and Deadlock Prevention?


🔍

  • Detection: Allowing deadlocks to happen but using tools (like watchdog timers or request graph analysis) to find and reset the system.
  • Prevention: Using a strict policy, such as requesting resources in the same order, to ensure a deadlock can never physically occur.
