Not needed. The SCHED_FIFO protects against from other tasks taking the CPU. If we have two SCHED_FIFO threads communicating with a mutex protected queue, different priorities are not a problem as for priority inversion to happen, one of them needs to block on the shared mutex. And if the thread is blocked, it then isn't in the run queue, and thus cannot get the CPU. -- http://www.eca.cx Audio software for Linux!
