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); }
Note, mod_timer() and add_timer() call into the same function, __mod_timer(). So just use mod_timer(). Thanks, Nish -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel. Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/ FAQ: http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/
