Hi, I am writing a middleware which instead of having the I/O devices manage there queues the middleware manages them. I want a grt help from you guys. I have a module that intercepts the system calls that access the devices. I will be checking whether the device is busy or not. If the device is not busy then the system call will complete else the task will be put onto a wait queue that is managed at the middleware. Then I will be polling the devices at regular interval of time and if I see a device is free then I dequeue a task and complete its request. So can any one of you guys give me an idea of how to poll the device status saying whether it is busy or not. Then can you please refer to me some articles or links that speack about managing the device queues and how are these device queues handled. thanks in advance, raghu. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
