How can I wake up one process from the wait queue? You can use exclusive wait queues, which wakes up only one process from the queue. Although the general idea that is followed is: all the process are woken up once the resource is made available. And then the access to that resource is guarded by a lock, which in turn allows only one process to access the resource. Rest of the processes are pushed backed to sleep(or busy wait). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
