.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In lwp.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn _lwp_park "const struct timespec *abstime" "lwpid_t unpark" "const void *hint" "const void *unparkhint"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Fn _lwp_park
|
|
can be used to synchronize access to resources among multiple light-weight
|
|
processes.
|
|
It causes the calling LWP to wait interruptably in the kernel, until one
|
|
of the following conditions is met:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa abstime
|
|
argument is non-NULL, and the absolute UTC time it specifies has passed.
|
|
.It
|
|
The LWP receives a directed signal posted using
|
|
.Fn _lwp_kill ,
|
|
or is elected to handle a signal on behalf of its containing process.
|
|
.It
|
|
The LWP is awoken by another LWP in the same process that has made
|
|
a call to
|
|
.Fn _lwp_wakeup .
|
|
.It
|
|
The LWP is awoken by another LWP in the same process that has made
|
|
a call to
|
|
.Fn _lwp_unpark
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn _lwp_unpark_all .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The preferred method to awaken an LWP sleeping as a result of a call
|
|
to
|
|
.Fn _lwp_park
|
|
is to make a call to
|
|
.Fn _lwp_unpark ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn _lwp_unpark_all .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn _lwp_wakeup
|
|
system call is a more general facility, and requires more resources
|
|
to execute.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The optional
|
|
.Fa hint
|
|
argument specifies the address of object upon which the LWP is
|
|
synchronizing.
|
|
When the
|
|
.Fa hint
|
|
value is matched between calls to
|
|
.Fn _lwp_park
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn _lwp_unpark
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn _lwp_unpark_all ,
|
|
it may reduce the time necessary for the system to resume execution
|
|
of waiting LWPs.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa unpark
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa unparkhint
|
|
arguments can be used to fold a park operation and unpark operation into a
|
|
single system call.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa unpark
|
|
is non-zero, the system will behave as if the following call had been made
|
|
before the calling thread begins to wait:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
_lwp_unpark(unpark, unparkhint);
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn _lwp_park
|
|
may return a value of 0.
|
|
Otherwise, \-1 is returned and
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to provide more information.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width [EINVAL]
|
|
.It Bq Er EALREADY
|
|
A request was made to wake the LWP before it began to wait in
|
|
the kernel.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINTR
|
|
The LWP has been awoken by a signal or by a call to one of the
|
|
following functions:
|
|
.Fn _lwp_unpark ,
|
|
.Fn _lwp_unpark_all ,
|
|
.Fn _lwp_wakeup .
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The time value specified by
|
|
.Fa abstime
|
|
is invalid.
|
|
.It Bq Er ESRCH
|
|
No LWP can be found in the current process corresponding to
|
|
.Fa unpark .
|
|
.It Bq Er ETIMEDOUT
|
|
The UTC time specified by
|
|
.Fa abstime
|
|
has passed.
