If deadlock is avoided by deadlock-avoidance schemes, is starvation still possible? Explain your answer.
Added by Inmaculada P.
Step 1
Step 1: Deadlock is avoided by deadlock-avoidance schemes by ensuring that the system does not enter a state where each transaction is waiting for another transaction in a cyclic manner, thus preventing deadlock. Show more…

When is it preferable to use the deadlock prevention scheme, the deadlock avoidance scheme, and the deadlock detection and recovery scheme? Can you provide scenarios where more than one of these schemes can be used?
What are the conditions that lead to a deadlock?
Suppose each nonsharable resource in a computer system is classified as a level $1,$ level 2 or level 3 resource. Moreover, suppose each process in the system is required to request the resources it needs according to this classification. That is, it must request all the required level 1 resources at once before requesting any level 2 resources. Once it receives the level 1 resources, it can request all the required level 2 resources, and so on. Can deadlock occur in such a system? Why or why not?
