  • linux

    Linux kernel source tree

    • AIUI fsync is built on futex_waitv which has been upstreamed. So this has to be more than that.

  • wine-msync

    A Mach semaphore-based synchronization mechanism for Wine on macOS. Built for speed, inspired by fsync.

    • Looking forward to this. Getting Msync[1] for wine on macOS has made a huge difference there. It'll be great to have a similar realm of improvement in wine on Linux as well. We're nearly at the point where I'd rather run most Windows software on any platform other than Windows.
