I'm about to port a device driver from 2.0 to 2.2 Kernel Series.
Alans Article in the Linux-Magazine was a good Starting point, but I still
have one small Problem.
As I understood there is no current->timeout flag anymore.
I replaced this code "if (current->signal & ~current->blocked) return index;"
by "if (signal_pending(current)) return index;" which does its job.
Anyway, I didn't find something to replace this peace of code:
"if( current->timeout==0 ) return -ETIME;"
... so I just commented this out ;)
I thought this might not be necessary at all if using
"interruptible_sleep_on_timeout" instead of "interruptible_sleep_on" but
this seems to be a wrong assumption.
So far my process just never gets a timeout this way.
Thanks for hints
Sven
