I am thinking of techniques that we can implement in order to avoid deadlocks in processes. While I am aware of some tactics, e.g. killing a process when we reach a deadlock, or using spooling, would there be any other viable solutions?

For example, can we adjust a process to be executed if it is urgent, and has higher priority for execution, or maybe execute a process which asks for the smallest amount of resources? Or even, depending on the resource, we remove it from a process which has reached a deadlock and then re-use it by giving it again to the processes?
