Subject: Semaphores with timeouts
Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2008 01:08:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9a8e2be0802131608m7eef61efmaee332a661503f39@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi everybody,
I'm developing a driver to support a new protocol on the kernel 2.6.x,
a real time communication protocol used in robotic fields. Skipping
the intro: I need to know if there is any function in the kernel to
get the process sleeping, as down_interruptible(...), but with
timeouts, I mean, I want the process to wake up if no signal is
detected in a while...
Thanks anyway,
