Deadlocks on Windows:
Printer deadlock: A common cause of deadlocks on Windows is when multiple processes or threads try to print to a printer simultaneously. If one process locks the printer and another process tries to access it, a deadlock can occur.
File system deadlock: If multiple processes or threads try to access the same file simultaneously, a deadlock can occur if one process locks the file and another process tries to access it.
Registry deadlock: The Windows registry is a shared resource that stores configurations and settings for the operating system and applications. If multiple processes or threads try to access or modify the registry simultaneously, a deadlock can occur.
Deadlocks on Linux:
Disk I/O deadlock: If multiple processes or threads try to access the same disk or file system simultaneously, a deadlock can occur if one process locks the disk or file system and another process tries to access it.
Semaphore deadlock: Semaphores are a type of synchronization mechanism used by Linux processes to ensure exclusive access to shared resources. If multiple processes or threads try to access the same semaphore simultaneously, a deadlock can occur if one process locks the semaphore and another process tries to access it.
Network deadlock: If multiple processes or threads try to access the same network resource simultaneously, a deadlock can occur if one process locks the resource and another process tries to access it.
