Allow me to elaborate :) OK Vijay, actually which one do you concern more: 1. need a precise number of tasklet invocation under certain time limitation? For example, on 5 consecutives interrupts, you want the same tasklet run 5 times? OR 2. there are new data coming from a device and it is copied to kernel mode pages on RAM (maybe as linked list). Then you trigger the tasklet to consume/process this data? Most likely (I think), you need #2. In that case, you can follow Fawaad's advice. Sorry, this is the best idea I can offer for now...please study the do_irq() and do_softirq() on arch/i386/kernel/irq.c (for kernel 2.4.x) for complete understanding on how all these things works. LDD3 is another great resource too.. regards Mulyadi -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
