[Snip patch 01/15]
Andi, H.J.,
Please be patient as the community reviews these changes and
works with you on them.
This is a very interesting set of 15 patches whose final goal
is to enable lock elision in glibc for hardware that supports
such functionality. Please correct me if I'm wrong in that
assumption, normally one might send a 00/15 email with a
high-level description of the patch set and I didn't see one.
I invite both of you to idle in #glibc on freenode to allow
potential reviewers to iterate with you in real time if they
have questions that might be quickly resolved. If you don't
use IRC, that's fine, we can have the full conversations by
email.
I also assume your goal is to have these changes become
part of the 2.18 release in June 2013?
Given that Intel is set to release CPUs based on Haswell
in March/June 2013 what is your testing plan? If someone
makes a suggestion I assume that you'll be able to assist
by testing said suggestion on pre-release hardware
accessible by Intel employees?
Cheers,
Carlos.
