Re: [PATCH 2.6.20-rc4 3/4] futex_requeue_pi optimization

So, this patch implements requeuing from a non-PI futex to a PI futex?

Yes.

That's the bare minimum needed.  What about PI to PI?

I may miss something, but I don't think there is a need for that.

Currently, futex_requeue is (only) used in pthread_cond_broadcast to requeue some threads from an internal futex (futex1) to another futex (futex2, which is the futex behind the cond_mutex)

futex1 does not need to be a PI-futex, I think.
