[SOLVED] a question about schedule() and schedule_timeout(timeout)

[a.ti]

Hi All!

I have a problem while putting a threat to sleep. While it is sleeping, it seems, the console is freezing (it doesn't allow any input.(neither with minicom nor ssh or telnet), so i can't get any current information).
it tried
- schedule()
- schedule_timeout(timeout) // at least, calling this function, i can get printk's on the screen after the timeout expires
- wait_event(&wq) or with
- wait_event_interruptible(&wq, condition)

=> always the same result -> no input possible!

I'm at a loss, so any suggestions are very welcome!

Thanks in advance and
Kind regards!

ADD ON:

calling the function wait_event_interruptible(), the process remains in the schedule() part of the

#define __wait_event_interruptible(wq, condition, ret)-function in the <linux/wait.h>-file. (line 233).

A part of my Code is here: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/lin...rruptible.html
Could it be possible, that there are missing some flags of current->flags? (at the moment, printk("%08x", current->flags) give 0x800040)
Or should I take a closer look again to the configuration of the MPC? (But the released Interrupts are handled normally. It's just the thread, that don't want to "sleep")

Any ideas? - I don't know where to start looking...

Thanks in advance!


P.S.: Sorry - I forgot to post some additional information:
Linux-Kernel 2.6.16.11-rt18
Crosscompiler: gcc-3.4.3-glibc-2.3.6-1 for MPC5200 (PowerPC)

Got it!

I forgot to include <linux/version.h>

now it's working fine!
