In priority-based process scheduling, the scheduler only gives control to a particular process if no other process of higher priority is currently in the Ready state. Assume that no other information is used in making the process scheduling decision. Also assume that process priorities are established at process creation time and do not change. In a system operating with such assumptions, why would using Dekker's solution (see Section A.1) to the mutual exclusion problem be “dangerous”? Explain this by telling what undesired event could occur and how it could occur.
