That's broken by design - it means you can be arbitarily starved by other processes running in parallel. You are basically assuming your application is the only thing running on the system which is wrong. Also there are enough synchronization primitives that can synchronize multiple processes without making such broken assumptions. -Andi - 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/
