setting the timeout in driver after 1 ms

[Ratheendran]

Hi all,

I am doing linux 2.6.30 kernel driver for GPIO connected device,the technical specification says that the pulse width is 100us and time interval between the pulses is 100ms.

now my doubt is if I use jiffies for time out then, I get timeout after every 5 ms secs since the default value is set to CONFIG_HZ=200. so my question is how achieve a 1 millisecond timeout.

please help in fixing this issue.

Hi,

There is something like "hrtimer" - high resolution timer. Read about this and maybe this will do the job for you.
