Hi! In the driver I'm working on, a tasklet is scheduled from time to time. Are there any guarantees as to when it will run? I'm worried, for example, about module unloading: how to be sure that the scheduled tasklet runs before the module is unloaded?
Thanks,
Duncan.
PS: My first thought was to use tasklet_kill, but according to "Linux device drivers" (2nd ed) that may hang if the tasklet isn't pending.
PPS: Another thought was to call schedule(), hoping that all pending asklets will get run then, but is that reliable? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
