| Kernel Functions for Drivers | untimeout(9F) |
| | untimeout - cancel previous timeout function call |
SYNOPSIS
| |
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/conf.h>
clock_t untimeout(timeout_id_t id); |
| |
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).
|
| |
untimeout() cancels a pending timeout(9F) request. untimeout() will not return until the pending callback is cancelled or has run. Because of this, locks acquired by the callback routine should not be held across the call to untimeout() or a deadlock may result.
Since no mutex should be held across the call to untimeout(), there is a race condition between the occurrence of an expected event and the execution of the timeout handler. In
particular, it should be noted that no problems will result from calling untimeout() for a timeout which is either running on another CPU, or has already completed. Drivers should be
structured with the understanding that the arrival of both an interrupt and a timeout for that interrupt can occasionally occur, in either order.
|
| |
untimeout() returns -1 if the id is not found. Otherwise, it returns an integer value greater than or equal to 0.
|
| |
untimeout() can be called from user or interrupt context.
|
| | Example 1.
| |
In the following example, the device driver has issued an IO request and is waiting for the device to respond. If the device does not respond within 5 seconds, the device driver will print out an
error message to the console.
