Wait Queues

Queuing
Placing yourself in the waitqueue is fairly complex, because you
must put yourself in the queue before checking the condition.
There is a macro to do this: wait_event_interruptible()
include/linux/sched.h. The first argument is the wait queue head,
and the second is an expression which is evaluated; the macro
returns 0 when this expression is true, or -ERESTARTSYS if a
signal is received.
The wait_event() version ignores signals.
Hope that helps,
Rusty.
