Damn, I forgot that, thanks for reminding me about it, Nish. So, yes, use set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) or set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) before you call schedule_timeout. However, you still need a way to get out from that "while" loop, so checking for certain condition(s) are still necessary, unless you don't mind with rude "kill" :) regards Mulyadi -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
