Priority inversion

In computer science, priority inversion is a scenario in scheduling in which a high priority task is indirectly superseded by a lower priority task effectively inverting the assigned priorities of the tasks. This violates the priority model that high priority tasks can only be prevented from running by higher priority tasks. Inversion occurs when there is a resource contention with a low priority task that is then preempted by a medium priority task.

Priority inversion - Wikipedia Jump to content From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Undesireable computing scheduling scenario In computer science , priority inversion is a scenario in scheduling in which a high-priority task is indirectly superseded by a lower-priority task, effectively inverting the assigned priorities of the tasks. This violates the priority model that every task can only be prevented from running by a higher-priority task. Inversion occurs when there is a resource contention with a (low-priority) task that is then preempted by a higher-priority task. Formulation [ edit ]
