[$] Windows NT synchronization primitives for Linux
Date:

Description:
The futex mechanism provided by the kernel allows for the creation of efficient and
flexible locking primitives in user space. Futexes work well for many applications, but not all. One of the exceptions, it seems, is that perennially difficult-to-support use case: Windows games. With this
patch series , Elizabeth Figura seeks to provide the sort of locking
that those games need, by way of a special-purpose virtual device.
