Hello,

 

I have another issue, I'm using a 2.4 UClinux Kernel and am using the interruptible_sleep_on_timeout function to wait till an interrupt occurs or until the timeout expires. What I am seeing is that I never seem to time out the first time, I hit this function and then have to CTRL+C to interrupt the sleep, upon which my code begins to execute again, it will loop back to this exact same function again and the second and third time it will timeout and pass thru, but not the first. Has anyone seen this issue before?

Can you show your code?
Perhaps you are not setting the timeout correctly?
