Subject: diff between 'wait_event_interruptible' and 'wait_for_completion_interruptible'
Date: Thu, 8 Dec 2005 09:35:31 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2bd90fb70512072005y622cf7bbn53954ba6ee1fa7db@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

1) whats the difference between wait_event_interruptible and
wait_for_completion_interruptible ?

2) When is one used in favour of the other ?

3) Why "might_sleep" check is ONLY for "completion" kind of sleep
routines but not for "wait" kind of sleep routines ?

thanks,
tkrishna
