Subject: [patch 0/4] ipc sem improvements
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2009 21:09:02 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090811110902.255877673@suse.de> (raw)

Hi, this patchset is some improvements I've been trying to make to sysv
semaphore implementation which is pretty suboptimal (O(n^2) behaviour
with n waiting processes, among other things).

I've been quite careful to try retaining fifo and avoiding starvation
even for complex operations.

Comments?

Thanks,
Nick
