I wouldn't normally respond to my own message, but I did finally find what appears to be the authoritative text on how to use futex. Hopefully other people will find this document useful as I did. http://people.redhat.com/drepper/futex.pdf It's much more informative than the kernel code or the man page. At this point, it's pretty clear that I don't really have much worth contributing to the actual discussion, so I'll stay out of it unless something more in line with my skill set comes up.
