But, the -rt kernel has pretty much the same code for the futex_unlock_pi64, and it has the same bug.
Why would you use futex_unlock_pi64? In fact, the whole 64-bit futex patch should be reviewed and cut down to the bare minimum. I know, I was asking for it loudly but it became to Jakub and me after adding the private futexes that all these orthogonal extensions don't make sense. So far we need 64-bit futexes only for some rwlocks and here only a few operations (wait, wake). We don't need 64-bit extended to PI, we don't need requeue. Yes, if we had started out with 64-bit futexes on 64-bit platforms, that would be fine. But as it is today making 64-bit a new dimension is not needed. - 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/
