Priority inheritance vs priority ceiling

35 views Asked by At

Both priority inheritance and priority ceiling protocols are used to minimise the consequences of a race condition. They both dynamically change the priority of tasks that hold a resource, needed for execution of a higher-priority task, which "unstucks" it.

What I cannot find in any literature is:

  1. How are their algorithms of changing a task priority different?
  2. In what situations one is preferable to another?
