7 * This file implements counting semaphores.
8 * A counting semaphore may be acquired 'n' times before sleeping.
9 * See mutex.c for single-acquisition sleeping locks which enforce
10 * rules which allow code to be debugged more easily.
14 * Some notes on the implementation:
16 * The spinlock controls access to the other members of the semaphore.
17 * down_trylock() and up() can be called from interrupt context, so we
18 * have to disable interrupts when taking the lock. It turns out various
19 * parts of the kernel expect to be able to use down() on a semaphore in
20 * interrupt context when they know it will succeed, so we have to use
21 * irqsave variants for down(), down_interruptible() and down_killable()
22 * too.
24 * The ->count variable represents how many more tasks can acquire this
25 * semaphore. If it's zero, there may be tasks waiting on the wait_list.
