/* This program tests Priority Inheritence mutexes and their ability
   to avoid Priority Inversion deadlocks
  
   The basic premise here is to set up a deadlock scenario and confirm that PI
   mutexes resolve the situation. Three worker threads will be created from the
   main thread: low, medium and high priority threads that use SCHED_FIFO as 
   their scheduling policy. The low priority thread claims a mutex and then
   starts "working". The medium priority thread starts and preempts the low 
   priority thread. Then the high priority thread runs and attempts to claim
   the mutex owned by the low priority thread. Without priority inheritance, 
   this will deadlock the program. With priority inheritance, the low priority 
   thread receives a priority boost, finishes it's "work" and releases the mutex,
   which allows the high priority thread to run and finish and then the medium
   priority thread finishes. 
   
   That's the theory, anyway...
