Question 1

What is a scenario that causes priority inversion?

  • A high-priority task preempting a low-priority task.
  • A low-priority task holding a resource needed by a high-priority task.
  • Two tasks of the same priority executing simultaneously.

💡 Hint: Consider which tasks block others based on priorities.

Question 2

True or False: Priority Inheritance Protocol allows low-priority tasks to run indefinitely.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how priorities are managed during resource sharing.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider tasks with the following priorities: Task L (30ms), Task M (20ms) holding a lock, Task H (10ms). Describe how priority inversion occurs and apply PIP to resolve the situation.

💡 Hint: Think about timings and overlapping tasks.

Question 2

In a system where PCP is applied, if Task A (priority 1) holds a resource needed by Task C (priority 3) and Task B (priority 2) is waiting for Task A, analyze how PCP limits blocking.

💡 Hint: Visualize the priority dynamics and ceilings in effect.
