This patchset provides a new (written from scratch) implementation of robust futexes, called "lightweight robust futexes". We believe this new implementation is faster and simpler than the vma-based robust futex solutions presented before, and we'd like this patchset to be adopted in the upstream kernel. This is version 1 of the patchset.


Thanks for such a detailed writeup and clean solution. Clearly a lot of time and effort. The code was nicely commented and easy to read.

There was a reference in the thread about Ulrich having some robust mutex tests, are those (or can they be made) publicly available?
