Re: [patch 0/5] lightweight robust futexes: -V1

This patchset provides a new (written from scratch) implementation of
robust futexes, called "lightweight robust futexes". We believe this new
implementation is faster and simpler than the vma-based robust futex
solutions presented before, and we'd like this patchset to be adopted in
the upstream kernel. This is version 1 of the patchset.

Next point of discussion must be PI . Considering that this implementation is lacking it. Maybe it wouldn't be "lightweight" if it was included.

If PI is to be added to Linux it will need to encompass both mutex implementations . Was this a consideration in the design of these lightweight futexes?
