<h1 id="event-queues">Event Queues</h1>
<p>Event queue is a way of serializing events arring to a task. This makes it easy to queue processing to happen inside task's context. This would be done either from an interrupt handler, or from another task.</p>
<p>Events arrive in a form of a data structure <em>struct os_event</em>.</p>
<h3 id="description">Description</h3>
<p>Events are in form of a data structure <em>struct os_event</em>, and they are queued to data structure <em>struct os_eventq</em>.</p>
<p>Queue must be initialized before trying to add events to it. This is done using <em>os_eventq_init()</em>.</p>
<p>Common way of using event queues is to have a task loop while calling <em>os_eventq_get()</em>, waiting for work to do.
Other tasks (or interrupts) then call <em>os_eventq_put()</em> to wake it up. Once event has been queued task waiting on that queue is woken up, and will get a pointer to queued event structure.
Processing task would then act according to event type.</p>
<p>When <em>os_event</em> is queued, it should not be freed until processing task is done with it.</p>
<p>It is assumed that there is only one task consuming events from an event queue. Only one task should be sleeping on a particular <em>os_eventq</em> at a time.</p>
<p>Note that os_callout subsystem assumes that event queue is used as the wakeup mechanism.</p>
