Re: if wake_up() call missed

Hi Denis
I have a question : what would happen with waitqueue, if the code does
not call the wake_up function. Will waitqueue include all processes
and how long or memory freed after some time.
I think the waitqueue would still exist until the kernel is halted. However, I also think if the waitqueue exists in module's .data or .bss area and you remove it,waitqueue will be destroyed. But, I guess it would trigger unexpected kernel oops since waitqueue would point to non existing memory area.

regards,

Mulyadi
