.Nd hold a process
|
||
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
.In sys/proc.h
|
||
|
.Fn PHOLD "struct proc *p"
|
||
|
.Fn _PHOLD "struct proc *p"
|
||
|
.Fn PRELE "struct proc *p"
|
||
|
.Fn _PRELE "struct proc *p"
|
||
|
.Fn PROC_ASSERT_HELD "struct proc *p"
|
||
|
.Fn PROC_ASSERT_NOT_HELD "struct proc *p"
|
||
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fn PHOLD
|
||
|
macro increments the hold count of a process, and the
|
||
|
.Fn PRELE
|
||
|
macro decrements the hold count of a process.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
If a process with a non-zero hold count attempts to exit, it will sleep until
|
||
|
its hold count has reached zero before the kernel begins releasing resources
|
||
|
associated with the process.
|
||
|
Once a process has started exiting, it is invalid to increase its hold count.
|
||
|
Thus, callers must not attempt to hold a process that has the
|
||
|
.Dv P_WEXIT
|
||
|
flag set.
|
||
|
The VM daemon will not swap out the kernel stack of a thread belonging to a
|
||
|
process with a non-zero hold count.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fn _PHOLD
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.Fn _PRELE
|
||
|
macros are identical to
|
||
|
.Fn PHOLD
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.Fn PRELE ,
|
||
|
except that they must be called with the process lock held.
