Subject: [PATCH 10/32] futex.2: Document FUTEX_LOCK_PI2
Date: Wed, 28 Jul 2021 22:19:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210728202008.3158-11-alx.manpages@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210728202008.3158-1-alx.manpages@gmail.com>

From: Kurt Kanzenbach <kurt@linutronix.de>

FUTEX_LOCK_PI2 is a new futex operation which was recently introduced into the
Linux kernel. It works exactly like FUTEX_LOCK_PI. However, it has support for
selectable clocks for timeouts. By default CLOCK_MONOTONIC is used. If
FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME is specified then the timeout is measured against
CLOCK_REALTIME.

This new operation addresses an inconsistency in the futex interface:
FUTEX_LOCK_PI only works with timeouts based on CLOCK_REALTIME in contrast to
all the other PI operations.

Document the FUTEX_LOCK_PI2 command.
