__WAKE_UP(9) Driver Basics __WAKE_UP(9)NAME
__wake_up - wake up threads blocked on a waitqueue.
SYNOPSIS
void __wake_up(wait_queue_head_t * q, unsigned int mode, int nr_exclusive, void * key);
ARGUMENTS
q
the waitqueue
mode
which threads
nr_exclusive
how many wake-one or wake-many threads to wake up
key
is directly passed to the wakeup function
DESCRIPTION
It may be assumed that this function implies a write memory barrier before changing the task state if and only if any tasks are woken up.

PTHREAD_BARRIER(3) BSD Library Functions Manual PTHREAD_BARRIER(3)NAME
pthread_barrier -- barrier interface
LIBRARY
POSIX Threads Library (libpthread, -lpthread)
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
int
pthread_barrier_init(pthread_barrier_t * restrict barrier, const pthread_barrierattr_t * restrict attr, unsigned int count);
int
pthread_barrier_destroy(pthread_barrier_t *barrier);
int
pthread_barrier_wait(pthread_barrier_t *barrier);
DESCRIPTION
The pthread_barrier_init() function creates a new barrier with attributes attr and count. The count parameter indicates the number of
threads which will participate in the barrier. The pthread_barrierattr_init(3) function may be used to specify the attributes supplied in
attr. If attr is NULL, the default attributes are used. Barriers are most commonly used in the decomposition of parallel loops.
The pthread_barrier_destroy() function causes the resources allocated to barrier to be released. No threads should be blocked on barrier.
The pthread_barrier_wait() function causes the current thread to wait on the barrier specified. Once as many threads as specified by the
count parameter to the corresponding pthread_barrier_init() call have called pthread_barrier_wait(), all threads will wake up, return from
their respective pthread_barrier_wait() calls and continue execution.
RETURN VALUES
If successful, pthread_barrier_init() will return zero and put the new barrier id into barrier, otherwise an error number will be returned to
indicate the error.
If successful, pthread_barrier_destroy() will return zero. Otherwise an error value will be returned.
If successful, pthread_barrier_wait() will return zero for all waiting threads except for one. One thread will receive status
PTHREAD_BARRIER_SERIAL_THREAD, which is intended to indicate that this thread may be used to update shared data. It is the responsibility of
this thread to insure the visibility and atomicity of any updates to shared data with respect to the other threads participating in the bar-
rier. In the case of failure, an error value will be returned.
ERRORS
The pthread_barrier_init() function may fail if:
[EINVAL] The value specified by count is zero or attr is invalid.
The pthread_barrier_destroy() function may fail if:
[EBUSY] The barrier still has active threads associated with it.
[EINVAL] The value specified by barrier is invalid.
The pthread_barrier_wait() function may fail if:
[EINVAL] The value specified by barrier is invalid.

I have two threads: one maintains a thread-safe message queue (handle this queue at the beginning of every loop) and deals with tcp connections, the other one posts message to the former one. the problem is, while the former one was blocking at epoll_wait, it's not sure that how long until the...

Hi all,
Is it possible to do the following in Linux (kernel 2.6.x):
- A user-space thread goes to "sleep". Using any call/mechanism
- On a hardware generated interrupt, the Interrupt handler (ISR) "wakes" the sleeping user-thread.
I have seen wait_event() and wake_up() but it appears... (1 Reply)
