Scheduling tasklets from process context...
Hi, I have a query. Since tasklets are typically used for bottom half processing, is it acceptable/recommended that they be scheduled from a process context (say an ioctl handler)? Should one try to minimize such scheduling and try to do things in process context if possible, as tasklets run in interrupt context? Or is the driver writer free to use the tasklets at will? What is recommended here? Thanks in advance, Arun. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
