This is exactly what I need. add_timer() calling function X in the
init
and then add_timer() in function X.
No, I believe you want to do add_timer() calling function X in the init
and then mod_timer() in function X (or del_timer() if your finished).
I based my statement on the code for kbleds.c at:
http://www.tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg/2.6/html/lkmpg.html
ie:
static int __init kbleds_init(void)
{
..
init_timer(&my_timer);
my_timer.function = my_timer_func;
my_timer.data = (unsigned long)&kbledstatus;
my_timer.expires = jiffies + BLINK_DELAY;
add_timer(&my_timer);
return 0;
}
static void my_timer_func(unsigned long ptr)
{
..
my_timer.expires = jiffies + BLINK_DELAY;
add_timer(&my_timer);
}
