NO! Every single waiter of the _file descriptor_ is waked, not of the futex.
And how is this better? In this world of yours a program must have one file descriptor for each single futex which is used like this *per thread*. There can be hundreds, thousands of threads. And there can be large numbers of futexes, too. This is not going to fly. You reach the file descriptor limit just with this. And this in many processes on the system.

I don't know what you want to show here. You 10 new syscalls? You have two patches alone modifying futexes? And 22 patches in total. That's not "a lot"? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
