How do we know if it hasn't? It wouldn't bug, you may just have a longer latency on the higher priority process than what should be. It did happen on my kernel, and the way I found that it did, was that I had a test in the passing of ownership to make sure that the one that got the lock is indeed the highest priority process. Without this check, we probably would never know.
