[PATCH RT 2/3] posix-timers: user proper timer while waiting for alarmtimer

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

 



On RT the timer can be preempted while running and therefore we wait
with timer_wait_for_callback() for the timer to complete (instead of
busy looping).
The POSIX timer has an hrtimer underneath and this hrtimer is used to
wait for its completion. The alartimer has also an hrtimer but at a
different location.

Instead of checking for ->timer_set which is the same for the alarmtimer
and the "posix-timers" I instead check for ->arm which is only used by
the "posix-timers". To match the alarmtimer I check for the alarm_clock
struct.
