Are you sure there are no other "waiters" being blocked on the same "completion" at the same time? complete_all()? Anyway, do "cat /proc/your_task_pid/status" and look at the "State: " field. It should be "R" in case wake_up_*() was called for this task. -- Best regards, Dmitry Adamushko - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
