Coffman conditions for a deadlock

There are four conditions, known as the Coffman conditions, that are necessary for a deadlock to occur.  Remove any one of these, and a deadlock can’t happen:

1. Mutual exclusion.
   There’s a resource that only one entity can use at a time.
2. Hold and wait.
   An entity is holding one resource while waiting for another.
3. No preemption.
   An entity gets to decide when it releases its hold on a resource.
4. Circular wait.
   There must be a cycle of waits, such that entity 1 is waiting on a resource held by entity 2; entity 2 is waiting on a resource held by entity 3; …; and entity N is waiting on a resource held by entity 1.
