I suspected as much but wanted to be sure. I see that you state
"The patch does not change the existing sys_futex operations on non-robust
mutexes, so the patch should not affect existing code that uses futexes."
So apart from the interface there is no common code that is shared here ?
IOW there wont be any performane impact on apps that dont use the
extensions?
Are you planning to send to your patches to lkml soon?
