Hello
What ist the best way to wait n*10ms in a kernel thread? I am porting a non linux device driver to linux. The main part of the driver sould not be changed. The driver needs 2 kernel threads. The threads are soft realtime threads. They call a wait function if they want to sleep. In the moment I use this to implement the wait function:
void wait_func(int t) { unsigned long j;
j=jiffies+t*HZ/100; while(jiffies<j) schedule(); }
It works but the Idle task has no chance. So what can I do?
Knud
