Deadlocks
Deadlocks are a type of software issue that occurs when processes within the same process or across multiple processes compete for resources in a way that results in circular dependencies. Operating systems should be aware of deadlocks since they waste resources and decrease overall system performance. Many operating systems use algorithms for resource allocation and scheduling processes to prevent deadlocks and detect them.
When a process is deadlock, it is unable to proceed until it has acquired the resource it requires. For instance, if process P1 is holding tape drive R1 while waiting for the release of the same tape drive by process P2, then it is in a deadlock. If either process releases the resource it is holding, the other will immediately take it and enter a deadlock as well.
There are a variety of methods for stopping or solving a deadlock. The most popular method is to employ deadlock detection algorithms. This algorithm locates the deadlock by analyzing cycles in the resource-allocation graph. The Banker's Algorithm analyzes the state of a process by analyzing current resources.
A lock with mutual exclusion is another way to avoid a deadlock. This type of lock is used to ensure that a process has access only to its own resources and not the resources of other processes. This is a great method to avoid deadlocks and also provides a higher level security of your goods and van contents.

The SyncLock statement allows synchronization of the execution of a block of statements by acquiring an exclusive lock on the object referenced by its lockobject expression. When a different thread is in the SyncLock block, it examines the lockobject expression and stops its execution until the exclusive lock on the object is released. The first thread runs the block of statements. Typically, you put statements that manipulate data within a SyncLock block to safeguard the data from being modified by more than one thread simultaneously. Statement blocks that are protected by SyncLock can be referred to as critical sections.
It specifies the type of lock to be acquired for the statement block. Unless otherwise specified otherwise, the default lock is a shared lock.
The lockobject expression must evaluate to a object variable that is exclusive to the current instance of your class, or a private variable that does not belong to any instance of your class. If the lockobject value is null and the LOCK statement will fail and the program will be terminated with an error message during runtime.
If a transaction acquires an intent lock (I) on the table, it will block other transactions from receiving a WRITE or Shared ROW LOCK on that table while the transaction holds the intent lock. This is because an intent lock stops other transactions from changing the data in the table.
