Subject: Re: [PATCH] staging/android: use multiple futex wait queues

Hi,

> Have you tested this?

I have finally set up a cuttlefish test env and tested both my first
patch set[0] and this patch (v2).

My first patch set works fine. I have nothing to say about it.

> Noticed any performance speedups or slow downs?

This patch doesn't work.

The boot process goes well. Overall, calls to vsoc_cond_wake are executed
slightly faster. However the system freezes at some point.

The graphical interface generates many calls to vsoc_cond_wake and wait,
so I suspect an issue with the locks. I will investigate this and come back
with an updated patch.

regards,
 Hugo
