hi, module wont sleep at all.You are putting down kernel to sleep! In device driver also the process which calls modules read/write function sleeps as one can sleep in process context,but this is process not module. i think you try it and definately yr system will halt. i have'n't tried it,the reason is simple you better think . Rather why you need to do this,such things i had never seen,if the module can sleep would be true? then i really want to know the thoery behind it.
