I've read the documentation about priority inversion in win32. It seems that the operating system's scheduler handles this case by boosting a waiting thread's priority randomly.

Does that mean that there is no deterministic way to know if a mutex will have priority inheritance during a given critical section? Is there a way to implement it?

I've checked some ways to set thread priority but it should be a property of the mutex, not of the thread that holds it.

Thanks for answering

  • Can I take it this way? You want to set the mutex property. Is this equivalent to a semaphore or event？ – Junjie Zhu - MSFT Mar 17 '22 at 10:04
  • This doesn't make sense to me. Priority is a property of a thread. I'm at a loss what *"it should be a property of the mutex"* even means. What should the *"priority of a mutex"* be in case two or more threads with different priorities are waiting on it? – IInspectable Mar 17 '22 at 12:59
