Hi,

I have a question. How can I make timeout = 1 millisecond for wait_event_timeout
function?

Something like (HZ/1000)*x?


You mean in a HZ-independent way?

Use msecs_to_jiffies().

Note, that if HZ==1000, you can do wait_event-( , ,0); and you will
get as close to 1 millisecond as possible (there are no guarantees for
schedule_timeout(), the underlying function to wait_event_timeout()).

Thanks,
Nish
