Consider a computer system with multiple shared resource types, with one instance per resource type. Each instance can be owned by only one process at a time. Owning and freeing of resources are done by holding a global lock (L). The following scheme is used to own a resource instance:

function OWNRESOURCES(Resource R)

Acquire lock L / / a global lock

if R is available then

Acquire R

Release lock L

else

if R is owned by another process P then

Terminate P, after releasing all resources owned by P

Acquire R

Restart P

Release lock L

end if

end if

end function

Which of the following choice(s) about the above scheme is/are correct?

A
The scheme may lead to starvation.
B
The scheme may lead to live-lock.
C
The scheme ensures that deadlocks will not occur.
D
The scheme violates the mutual exclusion property.
