This is release -V3 of the "lightweight robust futexes" patchset. The
patchset can also be downloaded from:
http://redhat.com/~mingo/lightweight-robust-futexes/
Changes since -V2:
Ulrich Drepper ran the code through more glibc testcases, which
unearthed a couple of bugs:
- fixed bug in the i386 and x86_64 assembly code (Ulrich Drepper)
- fixed bug in the list walking futex-wakeups (found by Ulrich Drepper)
- race fix: do not bail out in the list walk when the list_op_pending
pointer cannot be followed by the kernel - another userspace thread
may have already destroyed the mutex (and unmapped it), before this
thread had a chance to clear the field.
- cleanup: renamed list_add_pending to list_op_pending. (the field is
used for list removals too)
