When trying to detect deadlock, are WFGs to be used along with the use
of timer? (refer to slide 6-74, there is a timer used as well).

One could detect a deadlock before timeout is exceeded. However,
if timeouts lead to preemption of resources then one of the conditions
for having deadlock is removed.
