Hi everybody, I'm developing a driver to support a new protocol on the kernel 2.6.x, a real time communication protocol used in robotic fields. Skipping the intro: I need to know if there is any function in the kernel to get the process sleeping, as down_interruptible(...), but with timeouts, I mean, I want the process to wake up if no signal is detected in a while...
Thanks anyway, -- Ricardo J. Rodríguez www.deathhc.tk
