I am having a kernel thread that waits on a completion object.
I am also having an ISR that wakes up the thread when ever an interrupt occurs.
The thread calls wait_completion_interruptible and waits for "completion" event.
What is happening is Even though i get the interrupt - The ISR calls 'complete'
The Thread does not wakeup.
I dont know why?.
I notice that i replaced wait_completion_interruptible with
wait_completion_timeout.
What happens is i keep getting the messages. As soon as the ISR
triggers the completion event. The threads stops/gets killed.
I dont know whats happening.
Could anyone help me on this.
Appending my code
Regards,
veda
