NAME

FUTEX_REQUEUE − wake some waiters, and requeue others

LIBRARY

Standard C library (libc−lc)

SYNOPSIS

#include <linux/futex.h> /* Definition of FUTEX_* constants */
#include <sys/syscall.h>
/* Definition of SYS_* constants */
#include <unistd.h>

long syscall(SYS_futex, uint32_t *uaddr, FUTEX_REQUEUE,
uint32_t
val, uint32_t val2, uint32_t *uaddr2);

DESCRIPTION

This operation performs the same task as FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE(2const), except that the futex word isn’t compared.

RETURN VALUE

On error, −1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.

On success, FUTEX_REQUEUE returns the number of waiters that were woken up.

ERRORS

See futex(2).

EFAULT

uaddr2 did not point to a valid user-space address.

EINVAL

uaddr2 does not point to a valid object—that is, the address is not four-byte-aligned.

EINVAL

The kernel detected an inconsistency between the user-space state at uaddr and the kernel state—that is, it detected a waiter which waits in FUTEX_LOCK_PI(2const) or FUTEX_LOCK_PI2(2const) on uaddr.

STANDARDS

Linux.

HISTORY

Linux 2.6.0.
