enumthread_call_priority_t

@enum thread_call_priority_t @discussion Thread call priorities should not be assumed to have any specific numerical value; they should be interpreted as importances or roles for work items, priorities for which will be reasonably managed by the subsystem. @constant THREAD_CALL_PRIORITY_HIGH Importance above everything but realtime. Thread calls allocated with this priority execute at extremely high priority, above everything but realtime threads. They are generally executed in serial. Though they may execute concurrently under some circumstances, no fan-out is implied. These work items should do very small amounts of work or risk disrupting system responsiveness. @constant THREAD_CALL_PRIORITY_KERNEL Importance similar to that of normal kernel threads. @constant THREAD_CALL_PRIORITY_USER Importance similar to that of normal user threads. @constant THREAD_CALL_PRIORITY_LOW Very low importance. @constant THREAD_CALL_PRIORITY_KERNEL_HIGH Importance higher than most kernel threads.

functionthread_call_enter

extern boolean_t thread_call_enter(thread_call_t call)
@function thread_call_enter @abstract Submit a thread call work item for immediate execution. @discussion If the work item is already scheduled for delayed execution, and it has not yet begun to run, that delayed invocation will be cancelled. Note that if a thread call is rescheduled from its own callback, then multiple invocations of the callback may be in flight at the same time. @result TRUE if the call was already pending for either delayed or immediate execution, FALSE otherwise. @param call The thread call to execute.

functionthread_call_enter1

extern boolean_t thread_call_enter1(thread_call_t call, thread_call_param_t param1)
@function thread_call_enter1 @abstract Submit a thread call work item for immediate execution, with an extra parameter. @discussion This routine is identical to thread_call_enter(), except that the second parameter to the callback is specified. @result TRUE if the call was already pending for either delayed or immediate execution, FALSE otherwise. @param call The thread call to execute. @param param1 Parameter to pass callback.

functionthread_call_enter_delayed

extern boolean_t thread_call_enter_delayed(thread_call_t call, uint64_t deadline)
@function thread_call_enter_delayed @abstract Submit a thread call to be executed at some point in the future. @discussion If the work item is already scheduled for delayed or immediate execution, and it has not yet begun to run, that invocation will be cancelled in favor of execution at the newly specified time. Note that if a thread call is rescheduled from its own callback, then multiple invocations of the callback may be in flight at the same time. @result TRUE if the call was already pending for either delayed or immediate execution, FALSE otherwise. @param call The thread call to execute. @param deadline Time, in absolute time units, at which to execute callback.

functionthread_call_enter1_delayed

extern boolean_t thread_call_enter1_delayed(
	thread_call_t call,
	thread_call_param_t param1,
	uint64_t deadline
)
@function thread_call_enter1_delayed @abstract Submit a thread call to be executed at some point in the future, with an extra parameter. @discussion This routine is identical to thread_call_enter_delayed(), except that a second parameter to the callback is specified. @result TRUE if the call was already pending for either delayed or immediate execution, FALSE otherwise. @param call The thread call to execute. @param param1 Second parameter to callback. @param deadline Time, in absolute time units, at which to execute callback.

functionthread_call_cancel

extern boolean_t thread_call_cancel(thread_call_t call)
@function thread_call_cancel @abstract Attempt to cancel a pending invocation of a thread call. @discussion Attempt to cancel a thread call which has been scheduled for execution with a thread_call_enter* variant. If the call has not yet begun executing, the pending invocation will be cancelled and TRUE will be returned. If the work item has already begun executing, thread_call_cancel will return FALSE immediately; the callback may be about to run, currently running, or already done executing. @result TRUE if the call was successfully cancelled, FALSE otherwise.

functionthread_call_cancel_wait

extern boolean_t thread_call_cancel_wait(thread_call_t call)
@function thread_call_cancel_wait @abstract Attempt to cancel a pending invocation of a thread call. If unable to cancel, wait for current invocation to finish. @discussion Attempt to cancel a thread call which has been scheduled for execution with a thread_call_enter* variant. If the call has not yet begun executing, the pending invocation will be cancelled and TRUE will be returned. If the work item has already begun executing, thread_call_cancel_wait waits for the most recent invocation to finish. When called on a work item which has already finished, it will return FALSE immediately. Note that this routine can only be used on thread calls set up with either thread_call_allocate or thread_call_allocate_with_priority, and that invocations of the thread call <i>after</i> the current invocation may be in flight when thread_call_cancel_wait returns. @result TRUE if the call was successfully cancelled, FALSE otherwise.

functionthread_call_allocate

extern thread_call_t thread_call_allocate(
	thread_call_func_t func,
	thread_call_param_t param0
)
@function thread_call_allocate @abstract Allocate a thread call to execute with default (high) priority. @discussion Allocates a thread call that will run with properties of THREAD_CALL_PRIORITY_HIGH, binding the first parameter to the callback. @param func Callback to invoke when thread call is scheduled. @param param0 First argument ot pass to callback. @result Thread call which can be passed to thread_call_enter variants.

functionthread_call_allocate_with_priority

extern thread_call_t thread_call_allocate_with_priority(
	thread_call_func_t func,
	thread_call_param_t param0,
	thread_call_priority_t pri
)
@function thread_call_allocate_with_priority @abstract Allocate a thread call to execute with a specified priority. @discussion Identical to thread_call_allocate, except that priority is specified by caller. @param func Callback to invoke when thread call is scheduled. @param param0 First argument to pass to callback. @param pri Priority of item. @result Thread call which can be passed to thread_call_enter variants.

functionthread_call_allocate_with_options

extern thread_call_t thread_call_allocate_with_options(
	thread_call_func_t func,
	thread_call_param_t param0,
	thread_call_priority_t pri,
	thread_call_options_t options
)
@function thread_call_allocate_with_options @abstract Allocate a thread call to execute with a specified priority. @discussion Identical to thread_call_allocate, except that priority and options are specified by caller. @param func Callback to invoke when thread call is scheduled. @param param0 First argument to pass to callback. @param pri Priority of item. @param options Options for item. @result Thread call which can be passed to thread_call_enter variants.

functionthread_call_free

extern boolean_t thread_call_free(thread_call_t call)
@function thread_call_free @abstract Release a thread call. @discussion Should only be used on thread calls allocated with thread_call_allocate or thread_call_allocate_with_priority. Once thread_call_free has been called, no other operations may be performed on a thread call. If the thread call is currently pending, thread_call_free will return FALSE and will have no effect. Calling thread_call_free from a thread call's own callback is safe; the work item is not considering "pending" at that point. @result TRUE if the thread call has been successfully released, else FALSE. @param call The thread call to release.

functionthread_call_isactive

boolean_t thread_call_isactive(thread_call_t call)
@function thread_call_isactive @abstract Determine whether a thread call is pending or currently executing. @param call Thread call to examine. @result TRUE if the thread call is either scheduled for execution (immediately or at some point in the future) or is currently executing.
