mutex_lock_interruptible (9)

int __sched mutex_lock_interruptible(struct mutex * lock);

lock

the mutex to be acquired

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.
