Taking semaphores

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

 



Hi folks,

 

I have Googled and gone through a lot of links and as well as browsed through the Linux code but could not figure this one out. I wanted to know if we could take semaphores in timer routine - bottom-half context (I guess not).  

 

What mechanism (softirq, tasklets, etc) can be used if we want to use semaphores? Any links would be of great help.

 

Thanks,

Vishwas
