DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The select_dequeue routine removes the last kernel  thread
       waiting  for  an  event  to occur on the specified device.
       This routine is called to terminate a select  call.  Typically,
   a   kernel   module's   xxselect   routine  calls
       select_dequeue when the kernel sets the scanning  argument
       (for the module's xxselect routine) to the value 0 (zero).
       This value causes the kernel to unblock any kernel threads
       suspended when selecting events for this device.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       None
