Hi, I am trying to wait for an event but I also want the wait to timeout. I am doing something like this: timeout = jiffies + ticks; wait_event_interruptible(wq, jiffies > timeout); But my system seems to hang when it reaches the wait_event_interruptible() call. I am using the 2.4.6 kernel. Is there a patch or workwround for this. The wait queue entry and wait_queue have been properly initialized. Please reply to vipoolprajapati@hotmail.com as I am not on the list.
