What problem are you facing with wait_event_interruptible_timeout() in 2.6
Elaborate more on it.

Re: how to use wait_event_interruptible_timeout

[manomugdha biswas]

Hi, 
I am using the this function in the following way:

wait_queue_head_t     VNICClientWQHead;

/* Initialise the wait q head */
init_waitqueue_head(&VNICClientWQHead);

init_waitqueue_entry(&waitQ, current);
add_wait_queue(sock->sk->sk_sleep, waitQ));

/*
 my code, it reads data from socket
*/

wait_event_interruptible_timeout(VNICClientWQHead, 0,
HZ * 100000);

if no activity is to be done then this process sleeps.
When some data comes in socket i.e socket becomes
readable this process should wake up. In kernel 2.4 it
was working fine using interruptible_sleep_on_time().
But it is not working in kernel 2.6 even if data
arrives in socket! The sleeping process never wake up.
Could you please tell me what is the problem?

Regards,
Mano

need not to do this at all, as all this is done by
wait_event_interruptible_timepout() function. Just here you initialize
the head of the list.

Re: how to use wait_event_interruptible_timeout

[manomugdha biswas]

Hi,
I have a kernel module (kernel 2.6) where I have
opened multiple tcp connections. when there is no data
i want my process to sleep. For that i have added the
following code.
 
/* Initialise the wait q head */
  init_waitqueue_head(&VNICClientWQHead);

init_waitqueue_entry(&(currentMap->waitQ), current);
add_wait_queue(currentMap->sock->sk->sk_sleep,
&(currentMap->waitQ));

/* here currentMap is a structure containing tcp
conenction info for my module. There is a currentMap
for each tcp connection */

wait_event_interruptible_timeout(VNICClientWQHead,
                                 0, HZ * 100000);

I am not sure about the condition argument, 0. 

It is not working. How the condition is to be set here
so that whenever data is available on any socket (tcp
connection) the sleeping process gets waken up?

Could anyone please give some light on this?

Regards,
Mano
