Another fix for this problem is to hold the internal condvar lock while calling futex_requeue. However the performance numbers for both are about the same with the second fix (holding lock while calling requeue) getting slightly better numbers. (I measured the time for 64 threads to finish a given job for both fixes) Regards, Dinakar
