It is not possible to have a deadlock involving only one single process. The deadlock involves a circular “hold-and-wait” condition between two or more processes, so “one” process cannot hold a resource, yet be waiting for another resource that it is holding.

So for one process, deadlock can not be possible . One process dissatisfy hold and wait condition for deadlock..remember there are 4 conditions to satisfy a deadlock .
