NAME

       complete - signals a single thread waiting on this completion

SYNOPSIS

       void complete(struct completion * x);

ARGUMENTS

       x
	   holds the state of this particular completion

DESCRIPTION

       This will wake up a single thread waiting on this completion. Threads will be awakened in the same order in which they were queued.

       See also complete_all, wait_for_completion and related routines.

       It may be assumed that this function implies a write memory barrier before changing the task state if and only if any tasks are woken up.

NAME

     selrecord, selwakeup -- record and wakeup select requests

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/param.h>
     #include <sys/selinfo.h>

     void
     selrecord(struct thread *td, struct selinfo *sip);

     void
     selwakeup(struct selinfo *sip);

DESCRIPTION

     selrecord() and selwakeup() are the two central functions used by select(2), poll(2) and the objects that are being selected on.  They handle
     the task of recording which threads are waiting on which objects and the waking of the proper threads when an event of interest occurs on an
     object.

     selrecord() records that the calling thread is interested in events related to a given object.  If another thread is already waiting on the
     object a collision will be flagged in sip which will be later dealt with by selwakeup().

     selrecord() acquires and releases sellock.

     selwakeup() is called by the underlying object handling code in order to notify any waiting threads that an event of interest has occurred.
     If a collision has occurred, selwakeup() will increment nselcoll, and broadcast on the global cv in order to wake all waiting threads so that
     they can handle it.  If the thread waiting on the object is not currently sleeping or the wait channel is not selwait, selwakeup() will clear
     the TDF_SELECT flag which should be noted by select(2) and poll(2) when they wake up.

     The contents of *sip must be zeroed, such as by softc initialization, before any call to selrecord() or selwakeup(), otherwise a panic may
     occur.  selwakeup() acquires and releases sellock and may acquire and release sched_lock.
