Ar Gwe, 2006-07-28 am 10:52 -0400, ysgrifennodd Theodore Tso: > Good point, and limiting this facility to one such timeout per > task_struct seems like a reasonable restriction. Why is this any better than using a thread or signal handler ? From the implementation side its certainly horrible - we will be trying to write user pages from an IRQ event. Far better to let the existing thread code deal with it. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
