I beg to differ Ulrich .

May be Alexander was refering to the known futex_wake() with locked mutex
symdrom :

File sysdeps/pthread/pthread_cond_wait.c, line 61

lll_futex_wake (futex, INT_MAX);
/* We are done.  */
lll_mutex_unlock (cbuffer->cond->__data.__lock);


That means that the awaken thread(s) will hit the locked mutex.

Just invert those lines to :

lll_mutex_unlock (cbuffer->cond->__data.__lock); /* much better to call
futex_wake() with the mutex unlocked */
lll_futex_wake (futex, INT_MAX);

Thanks.
Eric
