Use lock addresses to enforce uniform locking order. Avoid deadlock

Lamport&#x27;s Bakery Algorithm from the 1970&#x27;s seems relevant, as is his frustration that people seem to keep rediscovering a solution to an already solved problem: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;research.microsoft.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;um&#x2F;people&#x2F;lamport&#x2F;pubs&#x2F;lamport-mutual-solved.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;research.microsoft.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;um&#x2F;people&#x2F;lamport&#x2F;pubs&#x2F;l...</a>

This is an old idea. Not sure why people are trying to give credit here where none is due.

This goes way, way back, all the way to early IBM JCL forcing the acquisition of file locks in alphabetical order when starting a batch job.

Interesting. Attempting to load this page deadlocks Safari on iOS 7.1.2 on my iPad Air.

Any explanation?
