RE: Going to sleep atomically

Like in blocking read() and poll() etc?
interruptable_sleep_on()
or
sleep_on()

in poll() use poll_wait()

K.D.

P.S.
"Linux Device Drivers" by Rubini is an excellent guide to driver
writing, although
it is getting quite old (in kernel-time space).
Other drivers can serve as tutrials too.
