Is Manually inflicted spurious wakeup on Linux possible? I want to experiment with some Java concurrency. I heard that it is possible, but very unlikely. Still for testing purposes it will be very beneficial.

what do you need to test? Usually we shouldn't care about the reason of wakeup anyway. – ZhongYu Oct 11 '15 at 21:58

[Answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/1051816/3440745) to the first question in "Related" section states that spurious wakeups on Linux are possible and give a way to generate them: `If a Linux process is signaled its waiting threads will each enjoy a nice, hot spurious wakeup.` – Tsyvarev Oct 12 '15 at 12:14
