As indicated earlier in the FUTEX_SWAP patchset:

"Google Fibers" is a userspace scheduling framework
used widely and successfully at Google to improve in-process workload
isolation and response latencies. We are working on open-sourcing
this framework, and UMCG (User-Managed Concurrency Groups) kernel
patches are intended as the foundation of this.
So I have to ask...is there *any* documentation out there on what this
is and how people are supposed to use it? Shockingly, typing "Google
fibers" into Google leads to a less than fully joyful outcome... This
won't be easy for anybody to review if they have to start by
reverse-engineering what it's supposed to do.
Thanks,
