int futex_sleep(struct futex *f, struct waiting_proc *wp, int timeout) { int error; FUTEX_ASSERT_LOCKED(f); LINUX_CTR4(sys_futex, "futex_sleep enter uaddr %p wp %p timo %d ref %d", f->f_uaddr, wp, timeout, f->f_refcount); error = sx_sleep(wp, &f->f_lck, PCATCH, "futex", timeout); ^^^^ according to nanosleep(2) however EAGAIN is not a valid return value...i'm lost. :( cheers. alex > > here's a
