NAME¶
wait_on_bit_lock_io - wait for a bit to be cleared, when wanting to set itSYNOPSIS¶
int
wait_on_bit_lock_io(unsigned long * word,
int bit, unsigned mode);
ARGUMENTS¶
wordthe word being waited on, a kernel virtual address
bit
the bit of the word being waited on
mode
the task state to sleep in
DESCRIPTION¶
Use the standard hashed waitqueue table to wait for a bit to be cleared and then to atomically set it. This is similar to wait_on_bit, but calls io_schedule instead of schedule for the actual waiting. Returns zero if the bit was (eventually) found to be clear and was set. Returns non-zero if a signal was delivered to the process and the mode allows that signal to wake the process.COPYRIGHT¶
