Question:
Consider the timestamp-ordering protocol, and two transactions, one that writes two data items p and q, and another that reads the same two data items. Give a schedule whereby the timestamp test for a write operation fails and causes the first transaction to be restarted, in turn causing a cascading abort of the other transaction. Show how this could result in starvation of both transactions.(Such a situation, where two or more processes carry out actions, but are unable to complete their task because of interaction with the other processes, is called a live lock.
