wait_event_interruptible_timeout problem

[manomugdha biswas <manomugdhab@yahoo.co.in>]

 Hi,
 I have a kernel module (kernel 2.6) where I have
 opened multiple tcp connections. when there is no
 data
 i want my process to sleep. For that i have added
 the
 following code.
  
 /* Initialise the wait q head */
   init_waitqueue_head(&VNICClientWQHead);
 
 init_waitqueue_entry(&(currentMap->waitQ), current);
 add_wait_queue(currentMap->sock->sk->sk_sleep,
 &(currentMap->waitQ));
 
 /* here currentMap is a structure containing tcp
 conenction info for my module. There is a currentMap
 for each tcp connection */
 
 wait_event_interruptible_timeout(VNICClientWQHead,
                                  0, HZ * 100000);
 
 I am not sure about the condition argument, 0. 
 
 It is not working. How the condition is to be set
 here
 so that whenever data is available on any socket
 (tcp
 connection) the sleeping process gets waken up?
 
 Could anyone please give some light on this?
 
 Regards,
 Mano
