Hi,
This patch modifies futex_wait() to use an hrtimer + schedule() in place of
schedule_timeout() in an RT kernel.
More details in the patch header.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This patch modifies futex_wait() to use an hrtimer + schedule() in place of
schedule_timeout().
schedule_timeout() is tick based, therefore the timeout granularity is
the tick (1 ms, 4 ms or 10 ms depending on HZ). By using a high resolution
timer for timeout wakeup, we can attain a much finer timeout granularity
(in the microsecond range). This parallels what is already done for
futex_lock_pi().
The timeout passed to the syscall is no longer converted to jiffies
and is therefore passed to do_futex() and futex_wait() as a timespec
therefore keeping nanosecond resolution.
Also this removes the need to pass the nanoseconds timeout part to
futex_lock_pi() in val2.
In futex_wait(), if the timeout is zero then a regular schedule() is
performed. Otherwise, an hrtimer is fired before schedule() is called.
