Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Futex cleanups and race fix
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2009 22:29:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090922052452.8717.39673.stgit@Aeon> (raw)

The following series corrects several innacurate comments in the futex code as
well as reformat some of the existing comments to be mostly consistent
throughout futex.c. The final patch fixes a nasty little race in the requeue pi
code resulting in missed wakeups and hung userspace application threads.
