Hi,
I am trying to understanding a linux driver code here:
https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/exynos/+/a6a1de6334417e0800440cdf971270df6f90b2fa/drivers/media/video/exynos/jpeg/
In here
https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/exynos/+/a6a1de6334417e0800440cdf971270df6f90b2fa/drivers/media/video/exynos/jpeg/jpeg_dev.c,
it calls 'init_waitqueue_head() where wq is a "wait_queue_head_t
wq;"
mutex_init(&ctrl->lock);
init_waitqueue_head(&ctrl->wq);
But I search the whole directory for wq usage, I don't find anywhere wq is used.
Can you please tell me what is the purpose of calling "init_waitqueue_head"?
Thank you.
