Kernel space: After add_timer is used, where is the code used to poll the global 'struct timer_list' to activate the related functions on time? It's not in sched.c, is it in tasklet/bh? 2. User space: is there a way to set a dynamic timer in userspace as well, such as create_timer(posix, not in Linux)? TIA XH Xiao __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
