In concurrent computing, a deadlock occurs when two competing actions wait for the other to finish, and thus neither ever does. Deadlock is a common problem in multiprocessing systems, parallel computing, and distributed systems, where software and hardware locks are used to handle shared resources and implement process synchronization.
In an operating system, a deadlock occurs when a process or thread enters a waiting state because a requested system resource is held by another waiting process, which in turn is waiting for another resource held by another waiting process. If a process is unable to change its state indefinitely because the resources requested by it are being used by another waiting process, then the system is said to be in a deadlock.
In a transactional database, a deadlock occurs when two processes, each within its own transaction, updates two rows of data (that is, records) but in the opposite order. For example, process A updates row 1 then row 2 at the same time that process B updates row 2 then row 1. Process A can't finish updating row 2 until process B is finished, but process B cannot finish updating row 1 until process A is finished. No matter how much time is allowed to pass, this situation will never resolve itself. Because of this, a database management system will typically kill the transaction of the process that has done the least amount of work.
In a communications system, deadlocks occur mainly due to lost or corrupt signals rather than resource contention.
