Deadlocks
Deadlocks happen when processes within the same process or between processes compete for resources, resulting in circular dependencies. Operating systems should be aware of deadlocks as they consume resources and decrease overall system performance. A lot of operating systems employ algorithms for resource allocation and scheduling processes to identify and prevent deadlocks.
When a process is stuck, it can't advance until it receives the resource it requires. For example, if P1 is holding the tape drive R1 waiting for the release of the same tape drive by process P2, it is in a deadlock. If either process releases the resource it holds and the other process releases it, the other will take it and enter a deadlock too.
There are several ways of preventing or resolving a deadlock. The most popular method to solve deadlocks is through deadlock detection. This algorithm detects deadlocks by checking for cycles in the resource allocation graph. The Banker's Algorithm is one such algorithm that checks the state of each process in cycles by analyzing the current allocation of resources.
A lock that is mutually exclusion is another way to avoid a deadlock. This type of lock is used to ensure a process has access only to its own resources and not the resources of other processes. This is a fantastic way to prevent deadlocks from being used, and also allows for a higher level security of your goods and van contents.

When another thread enters the SyncLock block, it examines the lockobject expression and stops its execution until the lock on the object is released. The first thread executes the block of statements. SyncLock blocks are generally used to contain statements that alter data. This blocks the data from being modified by multiple threads at once. Statement blocks that are protected by SyncLock are referred to as critical sections.
Specifies the kind of lock to be acquired for the statement block. Unless otherwise specified, the default is a shared lock.
The expression for lockobject must evaluate to an object variable that is only belonging to the current instance of your class or a private variable that is not tied to any instance of your class. If the value of the lockobject is null and the LOCK statement will fail and the program will terminate with an error message at runtime.
If a transaction is granted an intent lock on a table (I) it blocks any other transaction from acquiring a Shared ROW Lock or a Write ROW Lock for the table as long as the transaction is in possession of the intent lock. This is because an intent lock blocks other transactions from changing the data in the table.
