Each queue is associated with a specific wait channel when it is active, and only one queue may be associated with a wait channel at any given point in time. The implementation of each wait channel splits its sleepqueue into 2 sub-queues in order to enable some optimizations on threads' wakeups. An active queue holds a list of threads that are blocked on the associated wait channel. Threads that are not blocked on a wait channel have an associated inactive sleep queue. When a thread blocks on a wait channel it donates its inactive sleep queue to the wait channel. When a thread is resumed, the wait channel that it was blocked on gives it an inactive sleep queue for later use. .Pp The .Fn sleepq_alloc function allocates an inactive sleep queue and is used to assign a sleep queue to a thread during thread creation. The .Fn sleepq_free function frees the resources associated with an inactive sleep queue and is used to free a queue during thread destruction. .Pp Active sleep queues are stored in a hash table hashed on the addresses pointed to by wait channels. Each bucket in the hash table contains a sleep queue chain. A sleep queue chain contains a spin mutex and a list of sleep queues that hash to that specific chain. Active sleep queues are protected by their chain's spin mutex. The .Fn init_sleepqueues function initializes the hash table of sleep queue chains. .Pp The .Fn sleepq_lock function locks the sleep queue chain associated with wait channel .Fa wchan . .Pp The .Fn sleepq_lookup returns a pointer to the currently active sleep queue for that wait channel associated with .Fa wchan or .Dv NULL if there is no active sleep queue associated with argument .Fa wchan . It requires the sleep queue chain associated with .Fa wchan to have been locked by a prior call to .Fn sleepq_lock . .Pp The .Fn sleepq_release function unlocks the sleep queue chain associated with .Fn wchan and is primarily useful when aborting a pending sleep request before one of the wait functions is called. .Pp The .Fn sleepq_add function places the current thread on the sleep queue associated with the wait channel .Fa wchan . The sleep queue chain associated with argument .Fa wchan must be locked by a prior call to .Fn sleepq_lock when this function is called. If a lock is specified via the .Fa lock argument, and if the kernel was compiled with .Cd "options INVARIANTS" , then the sleep queue code will perform extra checks to ensure that the lock is used by all threads sleeping on .Fa wchan . The .Fa wmesg parameter should be a short description of .Fa wchan . The .Fa flags parameter is a bitmask consisting of the type of sleep queue being slept on and zero or more optional flags. The .Fa queue parameter specifies the sub-queue, in which the contending thread will be inserted. .Pp There are currently three types of sleep queues: .Pp .Bl -tag -width ".Dv SLEEPQ_CONDVAR" -compact .It Dv SLEEPQ_CONDVAR A sleep queue used to implement condition variables. .It Dv SLEEPQ_SLEEP A sleep queue used to implement .Xr sleep 9 , .Xr wakeup 9 and .Xr wakeup_one 9 . .It Dv SLEEPQ_PAUSE A sleep queue used to implement .Xr pause 9 . .El .Pp There are currently two optional flag: .Pp .Bl -tag -width ".Dv SLEEPQ_INTERRUPTIBLE" -compact .It Dv SLEEPQ_INTERRUPTIBLE The current thread is entering an interruptible sleep. .El .Bl -tag -width ".Dv SLEEPQ_STOP_ON_BDRY" -compact .It Dv SLEEPQ_STOP_ON_BDRY When thread is entering an interruptible sleep, do not stop it upon arrival of stop action, like .Dv SIGSTOP . Wake it up instead. .El .Pp A timeout on the sleep may be specified by calling .Fn sleepq_set_timeout after .Fn sleepq_add . The .Fa wchan parameter should be the same value from the preceding call to .Fn sleepq_add , and the sleep queue chain associated with .Fa wchan must have been locked by a prior call to .Fn sleepq_lock . The .Fa timo parameter should specify the timeout value in ticks. .Pp .Fn sleepq_set_timeout_sbt function takes .Fa sbt argument instead of .Fa timo . It allows to specify relative or absolute wakeup time with higher resolution in form of .Vt sbintime_t . The parameter .Fa pr allows to specify wanted absolute event precision. The parameter .Fa flags allows to pass additional .Fn callout_reset_sbt flags. .Pp Once the thread is ready to suspend, one of the wait functions is called to put the current thread to sleep until it is awakened and to context switch to another thread. The .Fn sleepq_wait function is used for non-interruptible sleeps that do not have a timeout. The .Fn sleepq_timedwait function is used for non-interruptible sleeps that have had a timeout set via .Fn sleepq_set_timeout . The .Fn sleepq_wait_sig function is used for interruptible sleeps that do not have a timeout. The .Fn sleepq_timedwait_sig function is used for interruptible sleeps that do have a timeout set. The .Fa wchan argument to all of the wait functions is the wait channel being slept on. The sleep queue chain associated with argument .Fa wchan needs to have been locked with a prior call to .Fn sleepq_lock . The .Fa pri argument is used to set the priority of the thread when it is awakened. If it is set to zero, the thread's priority is left alone. .Pp When the thread is resumed, the wait functions return a non-zero value if the thread was awakened due to an interrupt other than a signal or a timeout. If the sleep timed out, then .Er EWOULDBLOCK is returned. If the sleep was interrupted by something other than a signal, then some other return value will be returned. .Pp A sleeping thread is normally resumed by the .Fn sleepq_broadcast and .Fn sleepq_signal functions. The .Fn sleepq_signal function awakens the highest priority thread sleeping on a wait channel (if SLEEPQ_UNFAIR flag is set, thread that went to sleep recently) while .Fn sleepq_broadcast awakens all of the threads sleeping on a wait channel. The .Fa wchan argument specifics which wait channel to awaken. The .Fa flags argument must match the sleep queue type contained in the .Fa flags argument passed to .Fn sleepq_add by the threads sleeping on the wait channel. If the .Fa pri argument does not equal \-1, then each thread that is awakened will have its priority raised to .Fa pri if it has a lower priority. The sleep queue chain associated with argument .Fa wchan must be locked by a prior call to .Fn sleepq_lock before calling any of these functions. The .Fa queue argument specifies the sub-queue, from which threads need to be woken up. .Pp A thread in an interruptible sleep can be interrupted by another thread via the .Fn sleepq_abort function. The .Fa td argument specifies the thread to interrupt. An individual thread can also be awakened from sleeping on a specific wait channel via the .Fn sleepq_remove function. The .Fa td argument specifies the thread to awaken and the .Fa wchan argument specifies the wait channel to awaken it from. If the thread .Fa td is not blocked on the wait channel .Fa wchan then this function will not do anything, even if the thread is asleep on a different wait channel. This function should only be used if one of the other functions above is not sufficient. One possible use is waking up a specific thread from a widely shared sleep channel. .Pp The .Fn sleepq_sleepcnt function offer a simple way to retrieve the number of threads sleeping for the specified .Fa queue , given a .Fa wchan . .Pp The .Fn sleepq_type function returns the type of .Fa wchan associated to a sleepqueue. .Pp The .Fn sleepq_abort , .Fn sleepq_broadcast , and .Fn sleepq_signal functions all return a boolean value. If the return value is true, then at least one thread was resumed that is currently swapped out. The caller is responsible for awakening the scheduler process so that the resumed thread will be swapped back in. This is done by calling the .Fn kick_proc0 function after releasing the sleep queue chain lock via a call to .Fn sleepq_release . .Pp The sleep queue interface is currently used to implement the .Xr sleep 9 and .Xr condvar 9 interfaces. Almost all other code in the kernel should use one of those interfaces rather than manipulating sleep queues directly. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr callout 9 , .Xr condvar 9 , .Xr runqueue 9 , .Xr scheduler 9 , .Xr sleep 9
