ALMOS-MKH uses only the mutex virtual address as an identifier. * For each user condvar, ALMOS-MKH creates a kernel "remote_condvar_t" structure, * dynamically allocated in the reference cluster by the remote_condvar_create() function, * and destroyed by the remote_condvar_destroy() function, using RPC if the calling thread * is not running in the reference cluster. * * The blocking "remote_condvar_wait() function allowx the calling thread to efficiently * wait for a change in a shared user object. The calling thread blocks and register in * a waiting queue attached to the condvar. The blocked thread is unblocked by another * thread calling the remote_convar signal() or remote_condvar_broadcast(). * The three associated methods wait(), signal() and broadcast() must be called * by a thread holding the mutex associated to the condvar. ******************************************************************************************/ /******************************************************************************************* * This structure defines the kernel implementation of a condvar. ******************************************************************************************/ typedef struct remote_condvar_s { remote_busylock_t lock; /*! lock protecting the condvar state */ intptr_t ident; /*! virtual address in user space == identifier */ xlist_entry_t root; /*! root of waiting threads queue */ xlist_entry_t list; /*! member of list of condvars in same process */ } remote_condvar_t; /********************************************************************************************* * This function returns an extended pointer on the remote condvar identified * by its virtual address in a given user process.
