Re: performance problems with linuxthreads on arm

Or, you can fix the bug in LinuxThreads that causes performance to be

fix it.  Want to give it a try?

Daniel,
You are right, the patch works fine.
Did I understand it correct: The re-scheduling was called before relasing the spinlock, a process with higher priority is started, tries to get the lock, loops, and goes to sleep again. This is repeated, until the first process has a higher prio, that it finishes to release the lock...

Are you going to submit this patch upstream?

Best regards
Peter
