Description: https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2021-January/179219.html
Implementation: https://repo.or.cz/linux/zf.git/shortlog/refs/heads/winesync
AFAICT the new futex2 syscalls and the usage in Proton is a faster version of esync/fsync but with the same inherent problems.

This particular syscall, futex_waitv can be quite beneficial in a lot of other circumstances, for native games too, as I understand it.
I would guess that Valve's plans are for short to medium term to improve fsync with this and the other futex2 changes and maybe winesync can be the long term solution?
