Subject: Re: [Tarantool-patches] [PATCH v2] core: handle fiber cancellation for fiber.cond
Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2020 10:31:40 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <30AA598E-8418-44FF-8267-4214709A0815@tarantool.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4b2ee1cf-babc-4745-7c01-355602b739bc@tarantool.org>

Yet another fix-up because of test update:

Force-pushed.
