Hi all, I am porting a NT driver and app into linux... Currently i am having a problem in the application part... The scenario is as follows.. I have a function foo(param1, timeout)... what this function has to do is wait for param1 to be set true.. ie wait for this varibale to be set till the timeout expires.. so if the timeout expires before this varibale is set it will retrun a TIMEDOUT return value... otherwise a success.... The value of param1 is set by the driver.....(a async processing). In NT this can be done with a single API call for waitForSingleObject.... how do i do this in LINUX.... Should i go for the timer?? ... or say implement this via a thread and all??... any suggestion or pointers where to look???? i would like to have a method which is efficient ie of less cpu usage.. pls help... thanks in advance azad - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
