I imagine the point is not to implement some species of sync primitives currently not supported by Linux, but to implement exactly what windows does, so one does not need to emulate them in userspace.
- derefr 3y agoThe point for the contributor is that, yes. The point that would convince the Linux kernel maintainers to actually accept the patchset, though, would likely be the introduction of generally-useful "species of sync primitives." In such a way that those primitives can be used to solve the "hard part" of WINE's virtualization of NT's versions of those primitives; but which wouldn't be constrained to guarantee an efficient zero-impedance call path between those implementations.
