>Severity: serious
>Priority: high
>Responsible: kern-bug-people

>Originator: Jason Thorpe
>Release: NetBSD 9.99.59
>Organization:
Riscy Business
>Environment:
NetBSD 9.99.59
>Description:
Futex wake operations do not wake the highest priority waiter. Instead, the wake the waiters in FIFO order.
>How-To-Repeat:
Enqueue a low priority waiter before a high priority waiter. Wake one waiter. The waiter that's awoken will be the low priority waiter.
>Fix:
Do not use a queue of "wait" structures each with their own condvar. Instead, each futex should have its own sleepq and operate as a first-class synchronization object.
