if I need to implement a long delay (say 1 second) in the initialisation of a driver... what is the best mechanism to use to ensure that resources are not wasted? Iain. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/

Use a waitqueue. Relativly easy to implement....I can dig out an example at work, if you need it. Just let me know.
