When we use the policy where multiple processors are competing for bus access and this leads to starvation, will the state of starvation be permanent or not?

@elemental03 I dunt think there will be starvation if using FIFO arbitration.

Starvation can't really be permanent unless the flow of work is continuous and never decreasing - progress is being made somewhere and eventually the processor will get bus access (also, if it's random, then it's very likely access will be obtained eventually, it's just the time frame that is an issue).
