GATE | GATE-CS-2015 (Set 3) | Question 65

Consider the following policies for preventing deadlock in a system with mutually exclusive resources.

I. Processes should acquire all their resources at the 
   beginning of execution.  If any resource is not  
   available, all resources acquired so far are released.

    allowed to request for resources only in increasing 
    resource numbers.
III. The resources are numbered uniquely, and processes are
     allowed to request  for resources only in decreasing 
     resource numbers.
IV. The resources are numbered uniquely. A process is allowed
    to request only for a resource with resource number larger
    than its currently held resources.
