Abstract

A system for resolving a resource deadlock between processes. A shared data structure is maintained that includes process records of the processes. Process states and process priorities are defined for each of the processes. A respective state of the process is determined for each process based on the process states and process priorities of the process records maintained in the shared data structure. The respective state is used to allocate and deallocate resources to the process to mitigate and resolve the resource deadlock between the processes.
