I started playing with it after your last reference to it, I have some code here (against -rt): http://programming.kicks-ass.net/kernel-patches/futex-vma-cache/ Which I will post once I have the found what keeps pthread_join() from completing :-( It basically adds a per task vma lookup cache which can also activate the private logic without explicit use of the new interface. - 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/
