Linux internals for waitqueue/wakeup functions

Wait queues and wakeup in linux kernel  :

I am using the kernel version 3.19 for the depiction of waitqueue functions :

First there is waitqueue head and the waitqueue.

The waitqueue structure is  :
 20 struct __wait_queue {
 21         unsigned int            flags;
 22         void                    *private;
 23         wait_queue_func_t       func;
 24         struct list_head        task_list;
 25 };
 12 typedef struct __wait_queue wait_queue_t;

So basically it has a wait_queue function and a task_list.

Also the wait structure is as follows :

 39 struct __wait_queue_head {
 40         spinlock_t              lock;
 41         struct list_head        task_list;
 42 };
 43 typedef struct __wait_queue_head wait_queue_head_t;

Wait queue head has just the task list embedded in it.

Initially to make a linked list of task we declare and define the wait_queue head.

 63 #define DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD(name) \
 64         wait_queue_head_t name = __WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD_INITIALIZER(name)

 59 #define __WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD_INITIALIZER(name) {                           \
 60         .lock           = __SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED(name.lock),              \
 61         .task_list      = { &(name).task_list, &(name).task_list } }

These steps initializes the spinlock and the task list.

Initializing the wait_queue head is done like :

 72 extern void __init_waitqueue_head(wait_queue_head_t *q, const char *name, struct lock_class_key *);
 73
 74 #define init_waitqueue_head(q)                          \
 75         do {                                            \
 76                 static struct lock_class_key __key;     \
 77                                                         \
 78                 __init_waitqueue_head((q), #q, &__key); \
 79         } while (0)

 kernel/sched/wait.c
 14 void __init_waitqueue_head(wait_queue_head_t *q, const char *name, struct lock_class_key *key)
 15 {
 16         spin_lock_init(&q->lock);
 17         lockdep_set_class_and_name(&q->lock, key, name);
 18         INIT_LIST_HEAD(&q->task_list);
 19 }


Now we need to initialize the wait queue.

 51 #define __WAITQUEUE_INITIALIZER(name, tsk) {                            \
 52         .private        = tsk,                                          \
 53         .func           = default_wake_function,                        \
 54         .task_list      = { NULL, NULL } }
 55
 56 #define DECLARE_WAITQUEUE(name, tsk)                                    \
 57         wait_queue_t name = __WAITQUEUE_INITIALIZER(name, tsk)

This is the function to initialise a wait_queue entry :

 90 static inline void init_waitqueue_entry(wait_queue_t *q, struct task_struct *p)
 91 {
 92         q->flags        = 0;
 93         q->private      = p;
 94         q->func         = default_wake_function;
 95 }
 96

 Now to add the wait queue to wait queue head list we use function add_wait_queue :
 23 void add_wait_queue(wait_queue_head_t *q, wait_queue_t *wait)
 24 {
 25         unsigned long flags;
 26
 27         wait->flags &= ~WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE;
 28         spin_lock_irqsave(&q->lock, flags);
 29         __add_wait_queue(q, wait);
 30         spin_unlock_irqrestore(&q->lock, flags);
 31 }
 32 EXPORT_SYMBOL(add_wait_queue);


 114 static inline void __add_wait_queue(wait_queue_head_t *head, wait_queue_t *new)
115 {
116         list_add(&new->task_list, &head->task_list);
117 }

 Lets take a look at default_wake_function
 kernel/sched/core.c
2991 int default_wake_function(wait_queue_t *curr, unsigned mode, int wake_flags,
2992                           void *key)
2993 {
2994         return try_to_wake_up(curr->private, mode, wake_flags);
2995 }
2996 EXPORT_SYMBOL(default_wake_function);

How the try_to_wake_up the default_wake_function is called ??
We need to wake up the tasks put in the wait queue. wake_up functions come for help.
