Documentation/rt-mutex.txt explains it as: "A low priority owner of a rt-mutex inherits the priority of a higher priority waiter until the rt-mutex is released. If the temporarily boosted owner blocks on a rt-mutex itself it propagates the priority boosting to the owner of the other rt_mutex it gets blocked on. The priority boosting is immediately removed once the rt_mutex has been unlocked."
