Periodic event in Kernel Module

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

 



Hello. I have written a netfilter kernel module and I want some code to run periodically, ie a function in the module should run every 5 seconds.

I have researched and implemented a kernel work queue however this does not have the capability of being periodic from my assessment. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
