Definitions for "Priority inheritance"
An algorithm that eliminates some classes of priority inversions [ 76].
A technique for solving priority inversion. The technique involves the thread scheduler silently raising the priority of a thread holding a lock required by a higher-priority thread to match the higher-priority thread's priority.
The characteristic of a thread that causes its priority to be raised or lowered to that of the thread that sent it a message. Also used with mutexes. Priority inheritance is a method used to prevent priority inversion.
