Yes, that's more or less what I did :
void whatever_function ()
{
/* some stuff happens here, and I have to wait for a few ticks after this */
current->state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE;
schedule_timeout ( no_of_ticks );
/* done watiting, continue with whatever I have to do */
}
I wonder if it's bad practice to set current->state directly instead
of using a function like set_current_state (like the way msleep does
in the current kernel source) ?
Thank you, Everybody, for your replies :-).
