[PATCH v3 11/13] futex: Add timeout support to TP futexes

From: Waiman Long
Date: Fri Sep 30 2016 - 17:30:54 EST


Unlike other futexes, TP futexes do not accept the specification of
a timeout value. To align with the other futexes, timeout support is
now added. However, the timeout isn't as precise as the other futex
types due to the fact that timer expiration can't be detected when
the thread is waiting in the serialization mutex.
