wait_event_interruptible_timeout problem

wait_event_interruptible_timeout problem

[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

The condition should be an expression that returns true when whatever 
you are waiting for occurs - in this case when data is available. If you 
put the condition as 0 it will never wake up.

Also, why the huge timeout? If you just want to sleep forever, use 
regular wait_event_interruptible.

Re: wait_event_interruptible_timeout problem

Hi,

  wait_event_interruptible_timeout(VNICClientWQHead,
                                   <condition>, HZ *
100000);

I want to use this function to sleep my process when
there is no activity. But when some data arrives on
socket this function should wake up. I have declared a
wait queue as VNICClientWQHead. So what will be the
condtion here to wake up the process when data is
available on sockets? I have multiple sockets.

Regards,
Mano

On timeout it will wake up, even if the condition is 0 ..... bu in
this case the time out is too big. Try with small timeout value and
you will see that your process wakes up.
