here is a patchthat I'd like to see tested in the mm kernel. The patch
supports robust futexes for Linux without any RT support.
Ulrich Drepper has been asking me for a while for a patch that just has robustness
in it, no RT or PI or PQ. He'd like to see it in Linux and said he'd support
it in glibc if/when it gets in.
This patch was originally done by Todd Kneisel for the robust-mutex SIG at
OSDL. I've fixed a few bugs and added slab support.
The patch is at
http://source.mvista.com/~dsingleton/patch-2.6.15-robust-futex-1
There are also some simple tests for robustness in the same directory
in robust-tests.tar.gz. These simple tests test register, deregister, waiting,
timed waiting, waiting for robustness from a dieing thread to wake, etc.
