I would like stir up some discussion, please forgive me if u think
"Google" is best - not really easy to find answers either.

What is priority inversion?   Unbounded priority inversion?

why do u need it?   what problem does it solved?

where in the linux kernel is it implemented?

And what is priority inheritance?   What problem is it trying to solve?

where can u find this priority inheritance implemented in Linux Kernel?

Can u suggest some sequence of input whereby I can trigger all these events?
