Yes.
Your code should probably be more like:
func {
if (some_condition)
add yourself to a waitqueue and wait
do whatever write does
}
You don't need the if/else because the process is waiting for the kernel
call to execute. the process will not continue until the kernel is done.
so, if you wait in your write call, your process will wait also.
I'm not terribly familiar with waitqueues, but I'm sure someone smater
than myself will enlighten you. Or you could read the faq's or lookup
waitqueues since that will probably get you where you want to be faster.
