Currently, I use mutexes (and msleep) which require the ability to sleep. Timers can't sleep because they are implemented as a softirq. That said, I think the solution is to have two workqueue items--one to start the read and another to run after the temperature sensors have been read. The delays for both can be handled via schedule_delayed_work(). It could be done with two timers and spinlocks, but ... yuck. New patch forthcoming. --D -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
