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...

pthread_self

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

NAME

       pthread_self - obtain ID of the calling thread

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pthread.h>

       pthread_t pthread_self(void);

       Compile and link with -pthread.

DESCRIPTION

       The  pthread_self()  function returns the ID of the calling thread.  This is the same value that is returned in *thread in the pthread_cre-
       ate(3) call that created this thread.

RETURN VALUE

       This function always succeeds, returning the calling thread's ID.

ERRORS

       This function always succeeds.

ATTRIBUTES

       For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).

CONFORMING TO

       POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.

NOTES

       POSIX.1 allows an implementation wide freedom in choosing the type used to represent a thread ID; for example, representation using  either
       an  arithmetic  type  or  a structure is permitted.  Therefore, variables of type pthread_t can't portably be compared using the C equality
       operator (==); use pthread_equal(3) instead.

       Thread identifiers should be considered opaque: any attempt to use a thread ID other than in pthreads calls is nonportable and can lead	to
       unspecified results.

       Thread  IDs  are  guaranteed to be unique only within a process.  A thread ID may be reused after a terminated thread has been joined, or a
       detached thread has terminated.

       The thread ID returned by pthread_self() is not the same thing as the kernel thread ID returned by a call to gettid(2).
