wake up user space thread from kernel space ISR

Hello, I'm searching for a proper way to let the kernel space ISR(implemented in a kernel module) wake up a user space thread on a hardware interrupt. Except for sending a real-time signal, is it possible to use a semaphore? I've searched it on google, but it seems impossible to share a...

Linux Device Driver: how can an ISR wake up a user-thread?

Hi all, Is it possible to do the following in Linux (kernel 2.6.x): - A user-space thread goes to "sleep". Using any call/mechanism - On a hardware generated interrupt, the Interrupt handler (ISR) "wakes" the sleeping user-thread. I have seen wait_event() and wake_up() but it appears...

sleep

SLEEP(3)						     Linux Programmer's Manual							  SLEEP(3)

NAME

       sleep - sleep for the specified number of seconds

SYNOPSIS

       #include <unistd.h>

       unsigned int sleep(unsigned int seconds);

DESCRIPTION

       sleep() makes the calling thread sleep until seconds seconds have elapsed or a signal arrives which is not ignored.

RETURN VALUE

       Zero if the requested time has elapsed, or the number of seconds left to sleep, if the call was interrupted by a signal handler.

CONFORMING TO

       POSIX.1-2001.

BUGS

       sleep() may be implemented using SIGALRM; mixing calls to alarm(2) and sleep() is a bad idea.

       Using longjmp(3) from a signal handler or modifying the handling of SIGALRM while sleeping will cause undefined results.

SEE ALSO

       alarm(2), nanosleep(2), signal(2), signal(7)
