ARGUMENTS

13       wq
14           the waitqueue to wait on
15
16       condition
17           a C expression for the event to wait for
18

DESCRIPTION

20       The process is put to sleep (TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) until the condition
21       evaluates to true or a signal is received. The condition is checked
22       each time the waitqueue wq is woken up.
23
24       It must be called with wq.lock being held. This spinlock is unlocked
25       while sleeping but condition testing is done while lock is held and
26       when this macro exits the lock is held.
27
28       The lock is locked/unlocked using spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq
29       functions which must match the way they are locked/unlocked outside of
30       this macro.
31
32       The process is put on the wait queue with an WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE flag set
33       thus when other process waits process on the list if this process is
34       awaken further processes are not considered.
35
36       wake_up_locked has to be called after changing any variable that could
37       change the result of the wait condition.
38
39       The function will return -ERESTARTSYS if it was interrupted by a signal
40       and 0 if condition evaluated to true.
