Kernel Timer

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey guys,
I m trying to schedule a Kernel Timer such that a
function I need runs when the timer expires. But with
the current way I m doing it, the system always
crashes. 

Heres what I have:

.......
.......

/* Function Prototype */
void timerFunction( unsigned long );

.......
.......

/* Global Variables */
struct timer_list TimerFunctionTimer;

.......
.......

/* Inside init_module */
init_timer ( &TimerFunctionTimer );
TimerFunctionTimer.expires = (jiffies + HZ);
TimerFunctionTimer.function = timerFunction;
add_timer( &TimerFunctionTimer );

......
......

Am I doing something wrong here ? Any help would be
greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Nandan
