Hi,
I am reading a Linux device driver. At some point it
polls a device to check if it is ready. The timeout
is set to 5 second. It uses the system jiffies to
count the time:
u32 time_out = jiffies + 5 * HZ;
for (;;) {
/* code to check if dev is ready */
........
if (ready) break;
if (intr_count == 0) schedule();
if (jiffies > time_out) return ERROR;
}
How do I implement such polling in FreeBSD? Thanks.
