Go to the documentation of this file.

/* Low-priority main thread L acquires lock A.  Medium-priority
   thread M then acquires lock B then blocks on acquiring lock A.
   High-priority thread H then blocks on acquiring lock B.  Thus,
   thread H donates its priority to M, which in turn donates it
   to thread L.
