Dear Kernel Developers,
I have noticed the schedule_timeout behaving somewhat different as penned from the Linux 2.6 Oreelly books. I have developed a SD card Driver for 2.6.10 kernel & it works fine. I needed a hardware reg to update that take a time of 300ms. I have issued a call like..
set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE); schedule_timeout (300*HZ/1000);
I guess schedule_timeout should calls the scheduler after ensuring that the current process is awakened at timeout expiration. But, when I finally use it I get a sufficient delay which looks like a looped delay not allowing the keyboard to print messages on the screen.
I verified it ...
1) with debug messages immediately before & after the schedule_timeout call. 2) Commenting the schedule_timeout call.
Can someone comment on the schedule_timeout please?
Regards, Mukund Jampala

Dear Adrian,
Thanks for the information. Also Can you please give inputs regarding.....
I have an existing Linux 2.6.11 BSP for an AMD GX processor. What would it take me to port the complete BSP to 2.6.12 kernel? Can I prefer to work on 2.6.11 kernel which makes me get the system up in no time without any changes made? I guess 2.6.11 kernel will work with just a recompilation over 2.6.11.12 kernel.
An inquisitive question about Linux kernels versioning ... How do 2.6.(x).1 and 2.6.(x).12 kernels vary?
Regards, Mukund Jampala

The latest, IOW 2.6.11.12 .
But note that the 2.6.11 branch is no longer maintained since kernel 2.6.12 was released 5 months ago, and therefore lacks e.g. current security fixes.
