MUTEX_LOCK_INTERRUPT(9)                Mutex API reference                MUTEX_LOCK_INTERRUPT(9)



NAME
       mutex_lock_interruptible - acquire the mutex, interruptible

SYNOPSIS
       int __sched mutex_lock_interruptible(struct mutex * lock);

ARGUMENTS
       lock
           the mutex to be acquired

DESCRIPTION
       Lock the mutex like mutex_lock, and return 0 if the mutex has been acquired or sleep until
       the mutex becomes available. If a signal arrives while waiting for the lock then this
       function returns -EINTR.

       This function is similar to (but not equivalent to) down_interruptible.
