I counted the loops rtdm_task_busy_sleep took, and they were quite similar (IRQ noise aside). > >> Indeed, the >> behaviour of rtdm_clock_read may have been confusing due to lacking >> information, but it was also correct. > > I liked the note, but I would include another one: > "When in periodic mode, the time resolution is limited to the tick set to the > system timer" or something like.

Well my English is not that good, so I think you could > give a better description, but I really need this note is very useful. "Resolution" is the accurate term, indeed. To include what I think is the core of your suggestions: "The resolution of the this service depends on the system timer. In particular, if the system timer is running in periodic mode, the return value will be limited to multiples of the timer tick period." Actually, the resolution based on TSC is also limited - when your CPU has less then 1 GHz. ;) Jan
