NAME         top

       io_uring_prep_futex_wait - prepare a futex wait request

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <linux/futex.h>
       #include <unistd.h>
       #include <liburing.h>

       void io_uring_prep_futex_wait(struct io_uring_sqe *sqe,
                                     uint32_t *futex,
                                     uint64_t val,
                                     uint64_t mask,
                                     uint32_t futex_flags,
                                     unsigned int flags);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The io_uring_prep_futex_wait(3) function prepares a futex wait
       request. The submission queue entry sqe is setup for waiting on a
       futex at address futex and which still has the value val and with
       futex2(2) flags of futex_flags and io_uring futex flags of flags
       .

       mask can be set to a specific bitset mask, which will be matched
       by the waking side to decide who to wake up. To always get woken,
       an application may use FUTEX_BITSET_MATCH_ANY .

       futex_flags follows the futex2(2) flags, not the futex(2) v1
       interface flags.

       flags are currently unused and hence 0 must be passed.

       This function prepares an async futex(2) wait request. See that
       man page for details. Note that the io_uring futex wait request
       is similar to the FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET operation, as FUTEX_WAIT is a
       strict subset of that.

RETURN VALUE         top

       None

ERRORS         top

       The CQE res field will contain the result of the operation. See
       the related man page for details on possible values. Note that
       where synchronous system calls will return -1 on failure and set
       errno to the actual error value, io_uring never uses errno.
       Instead it returns the negated errno directly in the CQE res
       field.

NOTES         top

       Unlike the sync futex syscalls that wait on a futex, io_uring
       does not support passing in a timeout for the request. Instead,
       applications are encouraged to use a linked timeout to abort the
       futex request at a given time, if desired.
