Hi,
I need some kernel code to be executed periodically and I am wondering
what the best way would be to achieve this.
I can imagine the following possibilities:
- Have a thread run containing a while loop with a delay inside. This
would have the disadvantage that the time between the thread's execution
is run is not always fixed (it would depend on the load of the system,
...).
- Schedule a task to run at certain times. How do I achieve this? Which
functions can I use from within the kernel to use the timer?
- Are there any other possibilities? Do they have certain
advantages/disadvantages?
The taskq is what you're looking for. Check taskq(9F)
for more details, then src.opensolaris.org
