Hi,
Make the following changes:
TimerFunctionTimer.function = &timerFunction;
Add an __exit section where you delete the timer
del_timer (& TimerFunctionTimer);

Subject: kernel timer problem
Hey guys,
I m trying to schedule a Kernel Timer such that a
function I need runs when the timer expires. But with
the current way I m doing it, the system always
crashes.
Heres what I have:
.......
.......
/* Function Prototype */
void timerFunction( unsigned long );
.......
.......
/* Global Variables */
struct timer_list TimerFunctionTimer;
.......
.......
/* Inside init_module */
init_timer ( &TimerFunctionTimer );
TimerFunctionTimer.expires = (jiffies + HZ);
TimerFunctionTimer.function = timerFunction;
add_timer( &TimerFunctionTimer );
......
......
Am I doing something wrong here ? Any help would be
greatly appreciated. Thank you.
