NAME
       wait_event_interruptible_lock_irq - sleep until a condition gets true. The condition is checked under the lock. This is expected to be
       called with the lock taken.

SYNOPSIS
       wait_event_interruptible_lock_irq(wq, condition, lock);

ARGUMENTS
       wq
	   the waitqueue to wait on

       condition
	   a C expression for the event to wait for

       lock
	   a locked spinlock_t, which will be released before schedule and reacquired afterwards.

DESCRIPTION
       The process is put to sleep (TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) until the condition evaluates to true or signal is received. The condition is checked each
       time the waitqueue wq is woken up.

       wake_up has to be called after changing any variable that could change the result of the wait condition.

       This is supposed to be called while holding the lock. The lock is dropped before going to sleep and is reacquired afterwards.

       The macro will return -ERESTARTSYS if it was interrupted by a signal and 0 if condition evaluated to true.
