|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Fn selinit
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn seldestroy
|
|
functions must be used to initialize and destroy the
|
|
.Va struct selinfo .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn seldestroy
|
|
function may block.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn selrecord
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn selnotify
|
|
are used by device drivers to coordinate
|
|
with the kernel implementation of
|
|
.Xr select 2
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr poll 2 .
|
|
Each object that can be polled contains a
|
|
.Dv selinfo
|
|
record.
|
|
Device drivers provide locking for the
|
|
.Dv selinfo
|
|
record.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn selrecord
|
|
records that the calling thread is interested in events related to a given
|
|
object.
|
|
.Fn selrecord
|
|
should only be called when the poll routine determines that the object
|
|
is not ready for I/O: there are no events of interest pending.
|
|
The check for pending I/O and call to
|
|
.Fn selrecord
|
|
must be atomic.
|
|
Atomicity can be provided by holding the object's lock across the test
|
|
and call to
|
|
.Fn selrecord .
|
|
For non-MPSAFE drivers, the global
|
|
.Dv kernel_lock
|
|
is enough to provide atomicity.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn selnotify
|
|
is called by the underlying object handling code in order to notify any waiting
|
|
threads that an event of interest has occurred.
|
|
The same lock held across the poll method and call to
|
|
.Fn selrecord
|
|
must be held across the call to
|
|
.Fn selnotify .
|
|
The lock prevents an event of interest being signalled while a thread is
|
|
in the process of recording its interest.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa events
|
|
indicates which event happen.
|
|
Zero may be used if unknown.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn selnotify
|
|
also calls
|
|
.Fn KNOTE
|
|
passing
|
|
.Va knhint
|
|
as an argument.
