It must be okay, but a better way is to use wait queues. Let the thread sleep_on_interruptible() on a wait queue. Do a wake_up() from the interrupt handler. I think the thread is a kernel thread. if a user theread, the mechanism you suggested should be fine.Though I would put an IOCTL and get it in the kernel and then implement wait queue. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
