SYNOPSIS

int futex_requeue(u32 __user * uaddr1, unsigned int flags, u32 __user * uaddr2, int nr_wake, int nr_requeue, u32 * cmpval, int requeue_pi);

ARGUMENTS

uaddr1

flags

futex flags (FLAGS_SHARED, etc.)

uaddr2

target futex user address

nr_wake

number of waiters to wake (must be 1 for requeue_pi)

nr_requeue

number of waiters to requeue (0-INT_MAX)

cmpval

uaddr1 expected value (or NULL)

requeue_pi

if we are attempting to requeue from a non-pi futex to a pi futex (pi to pi requeue is not supported)
