| |
Hi I am a relatively newb in the kenel programming. I am using the function "schedule_timeout" for sleeping for some time. But in some cases the function returns after the specified timeout but in some instance it returns immediately, without decrementing the timeout value passed as the argument. I have to use this function only, so please suggest what can be the possible reasons.
The above said instance occured when i was developing a device driver, where i am implementing the poll. The function do_poll() uses this function for sleeping for specified timeout value. In normal device drivers it runs as it should, but when i poll on my device then the function returns immediately. I used the same timeout value for both the polls.
Thanx in advance, Avinash Vyas, Student, IIT Kanpur, India.
