Subject: Re: [tip PATCH v6 6/8] RFC: futex: Add FUTEX_HAS_TIMEOUT flag to
 restart.futex.flags

Darren Hart a écrit :
> Currently restart is only used if there is a timeout.  The requeue_pi
> functionality requires restarting to futex_lock_pi() on signal after
> wakeup in futex_wait_requeue_pi() regardless of if there was a timeout
> or not.  Using 0 for the timeout value is confusing as that could
> indicate an expired timer.  The flag makes this explicit.

You probably meant :

if (restart->futex.flags & FLAGS_HAS_TIMEOUT)
