I don't have specific information on how async/await handles priority inversion from the provided context. However, I can share that Swift's concurrency model, including async/await, is designed to improve the handling of asynchronous operations by allowing tasks to suspend and yield the CPU to other tasks. This helps in managing resources efficiently and can potentially mitigate issues like priority inversion by ensuring that tasks are executed in a more predictable and controlled manner.
