synchronize user & kernel spaces

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,
 
I want to send the data to kernel space and wait till
the interrupt finishes.(PCI dma transfer)
 
I could do it using a shared variable between user and
kernel spaces. Then polling is done in the user space
checking the shared variable.
 
But this is not an effective way.
I want to use wait/wakeup method for this.
( wait in the user space and wake up the user
space process in the interrupt routine).
It is possible to sychronize the kernel/user spaces
in this way?
 
Can anyone help me with this?
 
Thanx in advance.
