Synchronization mechanism between wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() & complete()

[Naveen Kumar Parna]

Hello,

I have a question regarding the synchronization mechanism between
wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() & complete(). I used
complete() API in the ISR Tx interrupt path and
wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() in struct file_operations
.write method.

Let assume a scenario in which Tx interrupt occurred and ISR called
complete() API before any process actually blocked at write method on
wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout().

After a few milli seconds, a process called write() API. Does it gets
blocked on wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() for completion
of a specific task to be signaled from new Tx interrupt?


Thanks,
Naveen
