死锁是指两个或两个以上的进程在执行过程中,因争夺资源而造成的一种互相等待的现象。死锁要产生必须具备四个必要条件:1. 互斥条件 2. 请求和保持条件 3.不可剥夺条件 4. 环路等待条件。由于资源占用是互斥的,当某个进程提出申请资源后,使得有关进程在无外力协助下,永远分配不到必需的资源而无法继续运行,这就产生了一种特殊现象死锁。
下面举一个Linux环境下产生死锁的程序(首先是驱动部分):
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/init.h>
#include <linux/fs.h>
#include <asm/uaccess.h>
#include <linux/wait.h>
#include <linux/semaphore.h>
#include <linux/device.h>
#include <linux/cdev.h>
#include <linux/sched.h>
