Subject: [RFC PATCH 4/5] spinning futex: put waiting tasks in a sorted rbtree
A simple FIFO list for the waiting tasks is easy to use. However, it
differs in behavior from the other futex primitives that the waiting
tasks are put in a priority list.
In order to make a sorted list ranked on priority as well as the
order they enter the kernel, we need to convert the simple list into
a rbtree.
This patch changes the waiting queue into an rbtree sorted first by
process priority followed by the order the tasks enter the kernel.
The optimistic spinning itself is strictly FIFO. There is no easy
way to make it priority based. In fact, the spinlock contention in
a wait-wake futex when the contending tasks enter the kernel also
serves as a kind of FIFO queue for processing the request. Priority
doesn't play a role there too.
