Deadlocks
Deadlocks are a kind of software defect that happens when processes within the same process or across multiple processes compete for resources in a manner that results in circular dependencies. Operating systems should avoid deadlocks since they waste resources and reduce overall performance of the system. Many operating systems use resource allocation and process scheduling algorithms to prevent and detect deadlocks.
If a process is stuck, it can't advance until it receives the resource it needs. For example, if process P1 is holding tape drive R1 and is waiting for process P2 to release the same drive then it is deadlocked. If one process releases the resource it holds, the other will immediately take it and enter a deadlock as well.
There are many ways of solving deadlocks or preventing them. The most common way to resolve deadlocks is to use deadlock detection. This algorithm identifies deadlocks by checking for cycles on the diagram of resource allocation. The Banker's Algorithm analyzes the state of a process through analyzing current resources.

If a transaction acquires an intent lock on a table (I) the lock prevents any other transaction from acquiring a Shared Lock or a Write ROW lock for that table so long as the transaction is in possession of the intent lock.
