Hi all, 1. What is the difference between schedule() and wait_event_interruptible_timeout execpt for the fact that wait_event_interruptible_timeout will also respond to a timeout period? Are both not meant to put to sleep the user process that call them until they are woken up by the event( in case of wait_event_interruptible_timeout) and the scheduler (in case of scheduler) ? My concern comes from the idea that I want to modify my videobuf_waiton in the V4L2 driver's DQBUF call to also respond to a timeout in case the HW isnt getting any signals.
