It's not priority heritance and never will be.
Thanks for comments. Here is new version.
[PATCH] rtmutex: Do not boost owner's prio if waiter is SCHED_OTHER
Higher priority does not provide exclusive privilege of one fair class task over the other. In this case priority boosting is pointless, and it may worsen performance.
This patch makes boosting, which is requested by fair class waiters, optional. It's disabled by default, but it's possible to enable it for debugging purposes to have more cases of priority inheritance.
