Hi,
Referring to the sync_pipes API,
create_sync_pipes(), wait_son_startup(), notify_startup()
which is defined in the:
testcases/kernel/syscalls/lib/libtestsuite.[ch]
I found the new sync_pipes API very convenient to synchronize processes.
However the naming might pose some semantic restrictions on their usages.
Since it can be used for making parent to wait child, and vice versa,
perhaps a better naming should be used. For example:
sync_pipes_create (), sync_pipes_wait (), sync_pipes_notify()
other names will be good as long as they don't assume the caller is child or
parent.
Furthermore, since it is also suitable for being used in common test cases,
moving
it outside the syscalls's directory to a more common place might be a good
idea.
