Hello,
I tried to make use of wake_up_interruptible(wq) in my module as
following (I just wanted to test if I'm using it correctly):
If I'm doing insmod, the module blocks in the wake_up_interruptible call.
Does somebody know why? Maybe because there is no process sleeping? How do
I check this?
DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD(wq);
int sleepy_init(void) {
test_file = create_proc_entry("test", 0666, NULL);
if(test_file == NULL) {
return -ENOMEM;
}
wake_up_interruptible(&wq);
return 0;
}
void sleepy_cleanup(void) {
remove_proc_entry("test", NULL);
}
module_init(test_init);
module_exit(test_cleanup);
Best regards,
Juergen

e.g. issue a read on some device driver (/dev/<your driver>
which will block until an interrupt has occured.
something like this:
DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD(mydriver_queue);
ssize_t mydriver_read(
struct file *filp,
char *buf,
size_t count,
loff_t *f_pos)
{
/* wait on interrupt */
while (1) {
interruptible_sleep_on(&mydriver_queue);
if (signal_pending (current)) /* a signal arrived */
return -ERESTARTSYS; /* tell the fs layer to handle it */
else break;
}
return 0;
}
void mydriver_irqhandler(unsigned long arg)
{
wake_up_interruptible(&mydriver_queue);
}
