Safe State

Safe state is one where

  • It is not a deadlocked state
  • There is some sequence by which all requests can be satisfied.

To avoid deadlocks, we try to make only those transitions that will take you from one safe state to another. We avoid transitions to unsafe state (a state that is not deadlocked, and is not safe)
