Question:

Consider the following program, which attempts to use a pair of semaphores for mutual exclusion.

Initially: s= 1, t = 0. Thread 1: P(s); V(s); P(t); V(t); Thread 2: P(s); V(s); P(t); V(t);

A. Draw the progress graph for this program.

B. Does it always deadlock?

C. If so, what simple change to the initial semaphore values will eliminate the potential for deadlock?
