2. Event Ordering n Happened-before relation (denoted by ). F If A and B are events in the same process, and A was executed before B, then A B. F If A is the event of sending a message by one process and B is the event of receiving that message by another process, then A B. F If A B and B C then A C.

3. Relative Time for Three Concurrent Processes Operating System Concepts 17.3 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
4. Implementation of n Associate a timestamp with each system event. Require that for every pair of events A and B, if A B, then the timestamp of A is less than the timestamp of B. n Within each process Pi a logical clock, LCi is associated. The logical clock can be implemented as a simple counter that is incremented between any two successive events executed within a process. n A process advances its logical clock when it receives a message whose timestamp is greater than the current value of its logical clock. n If the timestamps of two events A and B are the same, then the events are concurrent. We may use the process identity numbers to break ties and to create a total ordering. Operating System Concepts 17.4 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
5. Distributed Mutual Exclusion (DME) n Assumptions F The system consists of n processes; each process Pi resides at a different processor. F Each process has a critical section that requires mutual exclusion. n Requirement F If Pi is executing in its critical section, then no other process Pj is executing in its critical section. n We present two algorithms to ensure the mutual exclusion execution of processes in their critical sections. Operating System Concepts 17.5 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
6. DME: Centralized Approach n One of the processes in the system is chosen to coordinate the entry to the critical section. n A process that wants to enter its critical section sends a request message to the coordinator. n The coordinator decides which process can enter the critical section next, and its sends that process a reply message. n When the process receives a reply message from the coordinator, it enters its critical section. n After exiting its critical section, the process sends a release message to the coordinator and proceeds with its execution. n This scheme requires three messages per critical-section entry: F request F reply F release Operating System Concepts 17.6 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
7. DME: Fully Distributed Approach n When process Pi wants to enter its critical section, it generates a new timestamp, TS, and sends the message request (Pi, TS) to all other processes in the system. n When process Pj receives a request message, it may reply immediately or it may defer sending a reply back. n When process Pi receives a reply message from all other processes in the system, it can enter its critical section. n After exiting its critical section, the process sends reply messages to all its deferred requests. Operating System Concepts 17.7 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
8. DME: Fully Distributed Approach (Cont.) n The decision whether process Pj replies immediately to a request (Pi, TS) message or defers its reply is based on three factors: F If Pj is in its critical section, then it defers its reply to Pi. F If Pj does not want to enter its critical section, then it sends a reply immediately to Pi. F If Pj wants to enter its critical section but has not yet entered it, then it compares its own request timestamp with the timestamp TS. 4 If its own request timestamp is greater than TS, then it sends a reply immediately to Pi (Pi asked first). 4 Otherwise, the reply is deferred. Operating System Concepts 17.8 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
9. Desirable Behavior of Fully Distributed Approach n Freedom from Deadlock is ensured. n Freedom from starvation is ensured, since entry to the critical section is scheduled according to the timestamp ordering. The timestamp ordering ensures that processes are served in a first-come, first served order. n The number of messages per critical-section entry is 2 x (n – 1). This is the minimum number of required messages per critical-section entry when processes act independently and concurrently. Operating System Concepts 17.9 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
10. Three Undesirable Consequences n The processes need to know the identity of all other processes in the system, which makes the dynamic addition and removal of processes more complex. n If one of the processes fails, then the entire scheme collapses. This can be dealt with by continuously monitoring the state of all the processes in the system. n Processes that have not entered their critical section must pause frequently to assure other processes that they intend to enter the critical section. This protocol is therefore suited for small, stable sets of cooperating processes. Operating System Concepts 17.10 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
11. Atomicity n Either all the operations associated with a program unit are executed to completion, or none are performed. n Ensuring atomicity in a distributed system requires a transaction coordinator, which is responsible for the following: F Starting the execution of the transaction. F Breaking the transaction into a number of subtransactions, and distribution these subtransactions to the appropriate sites for execution. F Coordinating the termination of the transaction, which may result in the transaction being committed at all sites or aborted at all sites. Operating System Concepts 17.11 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
12. Two-Phase Commit Protocol (2PC) n Assumes fail-stop model. n Execution of the protocol is initiated by the coordinator after the last step of the transaction has been reached. n When the protocol is initiated, the transaction may still be executing at some of the local sites. n The protocol involves all the local sites at which the transaction executed. n Example: Let T be a transaction initiated at site Si and let the transaction coordinator at Si be Ci. Operating System Concepts 17.12 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
13. Phase 1: Obtaining a Decision n Ci adds record to the log. n Ci sends message to all sites. n When a site receives a message, the transaction manager determines if it can commit the transaction. F If no: add record to the log and respond to Ci with . F If yes: 4 add record to the log. 4 force all log records for T onto stable storage. 4 transaction manager sends message to Ci. Operating System Concepts 17.13 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
14. Phase 1 (Cont.) n Coordinator collects responses F All respond “ready”, decision is commit. F At least one response is “abort”, decision is abort. F At least one participant fails to respond within time out period, decision is abort. Operating System Concepts 17.14 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
15. Phase 2: Recording Decision in the Database n Coordinator adds a decision record or to its log and forces record onto stable storage. n Once that record reaches stable storage it is irrevocable (even if failures occur). n Coordinator sends a message to each participant informing it of the decision (commit or abort). n Participants take appropriate action locally. Operating System Concepts 17.15 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
16. Failure Handling in 2PC – Site Failure n The log contains a record. In this case, the site executes redo(T). n The log contains an record. In this case, the site executes undo(T). n The contains a record; consult Ci. If Ci is down, site sends query-status T message to the other sites. n The log contains no control records concerning T. In this case, the site executes undo(T). Operating System Concepts 17.16 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
17. Failure Handling in 2PC – Coordinator Ci Failure n If an active site contains a record in its log, the T must be committed. n If an active site contains an record in its log, then T must be aborted. n If some active site does not contain the record in its log then the failed coordinator Ci cannot have decided to commit T. Rather than wait for Ci to recover, it is preferable to abort T. n All active sites have a record in their logs, but no additional control records. In this case we must wait for the coordinator to recover. F Blocking problem – T is blocked pending the recovery of site Si. Operating System Concepts 17.17 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
18. Concurrency Control n Modify the centralized concurrency schemes to accommodate the distribution of transactions. n Transaction manager coordinates execution of transactions (or subtransactions) that access data at local sites. n Local transaction only executes at that site. n Global transaction executes at several sites. Operating System Concepts 17.18 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
19. Locking Protocols n Can use the two-phase locking protocol in a distributed environment by changing how the lock manager is implemented. n Nonreplicated scheme – each site maintains a local lock manager which administers lock and unlock requests for those data items that are stored in that site. F Simple implementation involves two message transfers for handling lock requests, and one message transfer for handling unlock requests. F Deadlock handling is more complex. Operating System Concepts 17.19 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
20. Single-Coordinator Approach n A single lock manager resides in a single chosen site, all lock and unlock requests are made a that site. n Simple implementation n Simple deadlock handling n Possibility of bottleneck n Vulnerable to loss of concurrency controller if single site fails n Multiple-coordinator approach distributes lock-manager function over several sites. Operating System Concepts 17.20 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
21. Majority Protocol n Avoids drawbacks of central control by dealing with replicated data in a decentralized manner. n More complicated to implement n Deadlock-handling algorithms must be modified; possible for deadlock to occur in locking only one data item. Operating System Concepts 17.21 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
22. Biased Protocol n Similar to majority protocol, but requests for shared locks prioritized over requests for exclusive locks. n Less overhead on read operations than in majority protocol; but has additional overhead on writes. n Like majority protocol, deadlock handling is complex. Operating System Concepts 17.22 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
23. Primary Copy n One of the sites at which a replica resides is designated as the primary site. Request to lock a data item is made at the primary site of that data item. n Concurrency control for replicated data handled in a manner similar to that of unreplicated data. n Simple implementation, but if primary site fails, the data item is unavailable, even though other sites may have a replica. Operating System Concepts 17.23 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
24. Timestamping n Generate unique timestamps in distributed scheme: F Each site generates a unique local timestamp. F The global unique timestamp is obtained by concatenation of the unique local timestamp with the unique site identifier F Use a logical clock defined within each site to ensure the fair generation of timestamps. n Timestamp-ordering scheme – combine the centralized concurrency control timestamp scheme with the 2PC protocol to obtain a protocol that ensures serializability with no cascading rollbacks. Operating System Concepts 17.24 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
25. Generation of Unique Timestamps Operating System Concepts 17.25 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
26. Deadlock Prevention n Resource-ordering deadlock-prevention – define a global ordering among the system resources. F Assign a unique number to all system resources. F A process may request a resource with unique number i only if it is not holding a resource with a unique number grater than i. F Simple to implement; requires little overhead. n Banker’s algorithm – designate one of the processes in the system as the process that maintains the information necessary to carry out the Banker’s algorithm. F Also implemented easily, but may require too much overhead. Operating System Concepts 17.26 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
27. Timestamped Deadlock-Prevention Scheme n Each process Pi is assigned a unique priority number n Priority numbers are used to decide whether a process Pi should wait for a process Pj; otherwise Pi is rolled back. n The scheme prevents deadlocks. For every edge Pi Pj in the wait-for graph, Pi has a higher priority than Pj. Thus a cycle cannot exist. Operating System Concepts 17.27 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
28. Wait-Die Scheme n Based on a nonpreemptive technique. n If Pi requests a resource currently held by Pj, Pi is allowed to wait only if it has a smaller timestamp than does Pj (Pi is older than Pj). Otherwise, Pi is rolled back (dies). n Example: Suppose that processes P1, P2, and P3 have timestamps t, 10, and 15 respectively. F if P1 request a resource held by P2, then P1 will wait. F If P3 requests a resource held by P2, then P3 will be rolled back. Operating System Concepts 17.28 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
29. Would-Wait Scheme n Based on a preemptive technique; counterpart to the wait -die system. n If Pi requests a resource currently held by Pj, Pi is allowed to wait only if it has a larger timestamp than does Pj (Pi is younger than Pj). Otherwise Pj is rolled back (Pj is wounded by Pi). n Example: Suppose that processes P1, P2, and P3 have timestamps 5, 10, and 15 respectively. F If P1 requests a resource held by P2, then the resource will be preempted from P2 and P2 will be rolled back. F If P3 requests a resource held by P2, then P3 will wait. Operating System Concepts 17.29 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
30. Two Local Wait-For Graphs Operating System Concepts 17.30 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
31. Global Wait-For Graph Operating System Concepts 17.31 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
32. Deadlock Detection – Centralized Approach n Each site keeps a local wait-for graph. The nodes of the graph correspond to all the processes that are currently either holding or requesting any of the resources local to that site. n A global wait-for graph is maintained in a single coordination process; this graph is the union of all local wait-for graphs. n There are three different options (points in time) when the wait-for graph may be constructed: 1. Whenever a new edge is inserted or removed in one of the local wait-for graphs. 2. Periodically, when a number of changes have occurred in a wait-for graph. 3. Whenever the coordinator needs to invoke the cycle- detection algorithm n Unnecessary rollbacks may occur as a result of false cycles. Operating System Concepts 17.32 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
33. Detection Algorithm Based on Option 3 n Append unique identifiers (timestamps) to requests form different sites. n When process Pi, at site A, requests a resource from process Pj, at site B, a request message with timestamp TS is sent. n The edge Pi Pj with the label TS is inserted in the local wait-for of A. The edge is inserted in the local wait-for graph of B only if B has received the request message and cannot immediately grant the requested resource. Operating System Concepts 17.33 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
34. The Algorithm 1. The controller sends an initiating message to each site in the system. 2. On receiving this message, a site sends its local wait-for graph to the coordinator. 3. When the controller has received a reply from each site, it constructs a graph as follows: (a) The constructed graph contains a vertex for every process in the system. (b) The graph has an edge Pi Pj if and only if (1) there is an edge Pi Pj in one of the wait-for graphs, or (2) an edge Pi Pj with some label TS appears in more than one wait -for graph. If the constructed graph contains a cycle deadlock. Operating System Concepts 17.34 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
35. Local and Global Wait-For Graphs Operating System Concepts 17.35 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
36. Fully Distributed Approach n All controllers share equally the responsibility for detecting deadlock. n Every site constructs a wait-for graph that represents a part of the total graph. n We add one additional node Pex to each local wait-for graph. n If a local wait-for graph contains a cycle that does not involve node Pex, then the system is in a deadlock state. n A cycle involving Pex implies the possibility of a deadlock. To ascertain whether a deadlock does exist, a distributed deadlock-detection algorithm must be invoked. Operating System Concepts 17.36 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
37. Augmented Local Wait-For Graphs Operating System Concepts 17.37 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
38. Augmented Local Wait-For Graph in Site S2 Operating System Concepts 17.38 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
39. Election Algorithms n Determine where a new copy of the coordinator should be restarted. n Assume that a unique priority number is associated with each active process in the system, and assume that the priority number of process Pi is i. n Assume a one-to-one correspondence between processes and sites. n The coordinator is always the process with the largest priority number. When a coordinator fails, the algorithm must elect that active process with the largest priority number. n Two algorithms, the bully algorithm and a ring algorithm, can be used to elect a new coordinator in case of failures. Operating System Concepts 17.39 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
40. Bully Algorithm n Applicable to systems where every process can send a message to every other process in the system. n If process Pi sends a request that is not answered by the coordinator within a time interval T, assume that the coordinator has failed; Pi tries to elect itself as the new coordinator. n Pi sends an election message to every process with a higher priority number, Pi then waits for any of these processes to answer within T. Operating System Concepts 17.40 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
41. Bully Algorithm (Cont.) n If no response within T, assume that all processes with numbers greater than i have failed; Pi elects itself the new coordinator. n If answer is received, Pi begins time interval T´, waiting to receive a message that a process with a higher priority number has been elected. n If no message is sent within T´, assume the process with a higher number has failed; Pi should restart the algorithm Operating System Concepts 17.41 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
42. Bully Algorithm (Cont.) n If Pi is not the coordinator, then, at any time during execution, Pi may receive one of the following two messages from process Pj. F Pj is the new coordinator (j > i). Pi, in turn, records this information. F Pj started an election (j > i). Pi, sends a response to Pj and begins its own election algorithm, provided that Pi has not already initiated such an election. n After a failed process recovers, it immediately begins execution of the same algorithm. n If there are no active processes with higher numbers, the recovered process forces all processes with lower number to let it become the coordinator process, even if there is a currently active coordinator with a lower number. Operating System Concepts 17.42 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
43. Ring Algorithm n Applicable to systems organized as a ring (logically or physically). n Assumes that the links are unidirectional, and that processes send their messages to their right neighbors. n Each process maintains an active list, consisting of all the priority numbers of all active processes in the system when the algorithm ends. n If process Pi detects a coordinator failure, I creates a new active list that is initially empty. It then sends a message elect(i) to its right neighbor, and adds the number i to its active list. Operating System Concepts 17.43 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
44. Ring Algorithm (Cont.) n If Pi receives a message elect(j) from the process on the left, it must respond in one of three ways: 1. If this is the first elect message it has seen or sent, Pi creates a new active list with the numbers i and j. It then sends the message elect(i), followed by the message elect(j). 2. If i j, then the active list for Pi now contains the numbers of all the active processes in the system. Pi can now determine the largest number in the active list to identify the new coordinator process. 3. If i = j, then Pi receives the message elect(i). The active list for Pi contains all the active processes in the system. Pi can now determine the new coordinator process. Operating System Concepts 17.44 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
45. Reaching Agreement n There are applications where a set of processes wish to agree on a common “value”. n Such agreement may not take place due to: F Faulty communication medium F Faulty processes 4 Processes may send garbled or incorrect messages to other processes. 4 A subset of the processes may collaborate with each other in an attempt to defeat the scheme. Operating System Concepts 17.45 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
46. Faulty Communications n Process Pi at site A, has sent a message to process Pj at site B; to proceed, Pi needs to know if Pj has received the message. n Detect failures using a time-out scheme. F When Pi sends out a message, it also specifies a time interval during which it is willing to wait for an acknowledgment message form Pj. F When Pj receives the message, it immediately sends an acknowledgment to Pi. F If Pi receives the acknowledgment message within the specified time interval, it concludes that Pj has received its message. If a time-out occurs, Pj needs to retransmit its message and wait for an acknowledgment. F Continue until Pi either receives an acknowledgment, or is notified by the system that B is down. Operating System Concepts 17.46 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
47. Faulty Communications (Cont.) n Suppose that Pj also needs to know that Pi has received its acknowledgment message, in order to decide on how to proceed. F In the presence of failure, it is not possible to accomplish this task. F It is not possible in a distributed environment for processes Pi and Pj to agree completely on their respective states. Operating System Concepts 17.47 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
48. Faulty Processes (Byzantine Generals Problem) n Communication medium is reliable, but processes can fail in unpredictable ways. n Consider a system of n processes, of which no more than m are faulty. Suppose that each process Pi has some private value of Vi. n Devise an algorithm that allows each nonfaulty Pi to construct a vector Xi = (Ai,1, Ai,2, , Ai,n) such that:: F If Pj is a nonfaulty process, then Aij = Vj. F If Pi and Pj are both nonfaulty processes, then Xi = Xj. n Solutions share the following properties. F A correct algorithm can be devised only if n 3 x m + 1. F The worst-case delay for reaching agreement is proportionate to m + 1 message-passing delays. Operating System Concepts 17.48 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne 2002
49. Faulty Processes (Cont.) n An algorithm for the case where m = 1 and n = 4 requires two rounds of information exchange: F Each process sends its private value to the other 3 processes. F Each process sends the information it has obtained in the first round to all other processes. n If a faulty process refuses to send messages, a nonfaulty process can choose an arbitrary value and pretend that that value was sent by that process. n After the two rounds are completed, a nonfaulty process Pi can construct its vector Xi = (Ai,1, Ai,2, Ai,3, Ai,4) as follows: F Ai,j = Vi. F For j i, if at least two of the three values reported for process Pj agree, then the majority value is used to set the value of Aij. Otherwise, a default value (nil) is used.
