Bug ID: 206040
Summary: sleepqueue man page describes priority arguments
wrong.
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: Documentation
Assignee: [email protected]

sleepq_signal, sleepq_broadcast both take a "pri" argument. The man page says
that if -1 is passed there will be no priority change, otherwise the pri value
will set the priority of all threads being signaled to pri.
However, if one looks at the code that uses the pri argument in sleepq_resume,
the actual logic can be described by this sentence:
"If pri is 0, the threads that are signaled will awake with priority unchanged.
Otherwise, if a thread is in priority class TIMESHARE, and a thread has a lower
TIMESHARE priority (larger value than pri) that thread's priority will be set
to pri. pri must either be between MIN_PRI and MAX_PRI, or zero."
I'd be happy if this simple fix to the document were made, and backported to
10.2 as well. Feel free to use the wording above.
