--- Comment #9 from Torvald Riegel <triegel at redhat dot com> ---
I agree that there is an issue if we claim that a robust mutex can be destroyed
as soon as the thread that wants to destroy it can acquire it and there is no
other thread or process trying to acquire it anymore.  I don't think that
whether we consider destruction or unmap without destruction makes a
significant difference, except regarding performance of potential solutions.
