1 definition found From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]: livelock /li:v'lok/, n. A situation in which some critical stage of a task is unable to finish because its clients perpetually create more work for it to do after they have been serviced but before it can clear its queue. Differs from { deadlock} in that the process is not blocked or waiting for anything, but has a virtually infinite amount of work to do and can never catch up.
