The patch titled ipc/sem.c: add a per-semaphore pending list has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ipc-semc-add-a-per-semaphore-pending-list.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ipc/sem.c: add a per-semaphore pending list From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Based on Nick's findings: sysv sem has the concept of semaphore arrays that consist out of multiple semaphores. Atomic operations that affect multiple semaphores are supported. The patch is the first step for optimizing simple, single semaphore operations: In addition to the global list of all pending operations, a 2nd, per-semaphore list with the simple operations is added. Note: this patch does not make sense by itself, the new list is used nowhere.
