/* * tqueue.h --- task queue handling for Linux. * * Mostly based on a proposed bottom-half replacement code written by * Kai Petzke, wpp@marie.physik.tu-berlin.de. * * Modified for use in the Linux kernel by Theodore Ts'o, * tytso@mit.edu. Any bugs are my fault, not Kai's. * * The original comment follows below. */ #ifndef _LINUX_TQUEUE_H #define _LINUX_TQUEUE_H #include #include #include /* * New proposed "bottom half" handlers: * (C) 1994 Kai Petzke, wpp@marie.physik.tu-berlin.de * * Advantages: * - Bottom halfs are implemented as a linked list. You can have as many * of them, as you want. * - No more scanning of a bit field is required upon call of a bottom half. * - Support for chained bottom half lists. The run_task_queue() function can be * used as a bottom half handler. This is for example useful for bottom * halfs, which want to be delayed until the next clock tick. * * Problems: * - The queue_task_irq() inline function is only atomic with respect to itself. * Problems can occur, when queue_task_irq() is called from a normal system * call, and an interrupt comes in. No problems occur, when queue_task_irq() * is called from an interrupt or bottom half, and interrupted, as run_task_queue() * will not be executed/continued before the last interrupt returns. If in * doubt, use queue_task(), not queue_task_irq(). * - Bottom halfs are called in the reverse order that they were linked into * the list. */ struct tq_struct { struct tq_struct *next; /* linked list of active bh's */ unsigned long sync; /* must be initialized to zero */ void (*routine)(void *); /* function to call */ void *data; /* argument to function */ }; typedef struct tq_struct * task_queue; #define DECLARE_TASK_QUEUE(q) task_queue q = NULL extern task_queue tq_timer, tq_immediate, tq_scheduler, tq_disk; /* * To implement your own list of active bottom halfs, use the following * two definitions: * * struct tq_struct *my_bh = NULL; * struct tq_struct run_my_bh = { * 0, 0, (void (*)(void *)) run_task_queue, &my_bh * }; * * To activate a bottom half on your list, use: * * queue_task(tq_pointer, &my_bh); * * To run the bottom halfs on your list put them on the immediate list by: * * queue_task(&run_my_bh, &tq_immediate); * * This allows you to do deferred procession.
