Not true, you have udelay(), ndelay(), mdelay(), msleep(), ssleep()
and the *_interruptible() versions...
So you do have functions to delay or sleep in the kernel.
Jesper, AFAICT they both are *not* same.
Please CMIIW.
Thanks
And if you don't want the kernel to preempt you you can disable
preemption while doing your sleeping... not very well behaved kernel
code, but you can do it...
