InterruptUnlock()

#include <sys/neutrino.h>

void InterruptUnlock( intrspin_t* spinlock );

Arguments:

spinlock

The spinlock (a variable shared between the interrupt handler and a thread) used in a call to InterruptLock() to lock the handler.

Library:

libc

Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.

Description:

The InterruptUnlock() function releases a critical section by unlocking the specified spinlock, reenabling interrupts. You can call this function from a thread or from an interrupt handler.

Before calling this function, the thread must:

• have the PROCMGR_AID_IO ability enabled. For more information, see procmgr_ability() .
• request I/O privileges by calling:

  ThreadCtl( _NTO_TCTL_IO, 0 );
  

If the thread doesn't do these things, it might SIGSEGV when it calls InterruptUnlock().
