Module 3 Deadlocks Bankers Algorithm

The Banker's Algorithm is used to determine if a set of pending processes can safely acquire resources. It tracks available resources and resources allocated, needed, and maximum for each process. The safety algorithm checks if there are enough available resources to allocate to a process without causing unsafe states. If so, resources are allocated and process completes. Otherwise, the process must wait. The resource request algorithm checks if a request exceeds maximum or available resources before tentatively allocating resources and checking safety.

Banker’s Algorithm

Data Structures for the Banker’s Algorithm


Let n = number of processes,
m = number of resource types

• Available: Vector of length m. If Available [j] = k, there are k instances of resource


type Rj currently available

• Max: n x m matrix. If Max [i,j] = k, then process Pi will request at most k instances
of resource type Rj.

• Alloc: n x m matrix. If Alloc[i,j] = k then Pi is currently allocated (i.e. holding) k


instances of Rj.

• Need: n x m matrix. If Need[i,j] = k, then Pi may need k more instances of Rj to


complete its task.

Need [i,j] = Max[i,j] – Alloc [i,j].


Safety Algorithm
1. Let Work and Finish be vectors of length m and n,
respectively. Initialize:
Work := Available
Finish [i] == false for i = 1,2, …, n.
2. Find an i such that both:
Finish [i] == false
Needi  Work
If no such i exists, go to step 4.
3. Work := Work + Allocationi
(Resources freed when process completes!)
Finish[i] := true
go to step 2.
4. If Finish [i] = true for all i, then the system is in a
safe state.
Resource-Request Algorithm for Process Pi
Requesti = request vector for Pi .
Requesti [j] = k means process Pi wants k instances of resource
type Rj.

1. If Requesti  Needi go to step 2. Otherwise, error ( process


exceeded its maximum claim).
2. If Requesti  Available, go to step 3. Otherwise Pi must
wait, (resources not available).
3. “Allocate” requested resources to Pi as follows:
Available := Available - Requesti
Alloci := Alloci + Requesti
Needi := Needi – Requesti
If safe  the resources are allocated to Pi.
If unsafe  restore the old resource-allocation state and
block Pi
