[ug-bosug] deadlocks in solaris

The answer is dependent on what subsytem you are interested in and
the specific scenario you are concerned about. However even with
such a wide scope, you can find answer(s) to your question by
using the OpenGrok source code search on OpenSolaris.org

http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/search?q=deadlock&defs=&refs=&path=usr%2Fsrc%2Futs&hist=

Just search for "deadlock" in the kernel source directories. You will
find that there are a number of comments which elucidate the use of
different deadlock prevention techniques in different scenarios.

One particular area of interest might be the way the FileSystem
and the Virtual Memory Subsystem avoid deadlock.

HTH.

Cheers,
Ananth
