ATA_PIO_QUEUE_TASK(9) libata Library ATA_PIO_QUEUE_TASK(9)NAME
ata_pio_queue_task - Queue port_task
SYNOPSIS
void ata_pio_queue_task(struct ata_port * ap, void * data, unsigned long delay);
ARGUMENTS
ap
The ata_port to queue port_task for
data
data for fn to use
delay
delay time in msecs for workqueue function
DESCRIPTION
Schedule fn(data) for execution after delay jiffies using port_task. There is one port_task per port and it's the user(low level driver)'s
responsibility to make sure that only one task is active at any given time.
libata core layer takes care of synchronization between port_task and EH. ata_pio_queue_task may be ignored for EH synchronization.
LOCKING
Inherited from caller.

delay(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers delay(9F)NAME
delay - delay execution for a specified number of clock ticks
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/ddi.h>
void delay(clock_t ticks);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).
PARAMETERS
ticks The number of clock cycles to delay.
DESCRIPTION
delay() provides a mechanism for a driver to delay its execution for a given period of time. Since the speed of the clock varies among sys-
tems, drivers should base their time values on microseconds and use drv_usectohz(9F) to convert microseconds into clock ticks.
delay() uses timeout(9F) to schedule an internal function to be called after the specified amount of time has elapsed. delay() then waits
until the function is called. Because timeout() is subject to priority inversion, drivers waiting on behalf of processes with real-time
constraints should use cv_timedwait(9F) rather than delay().
delay() does not busy-wait. If busy-waiting is required, use drv_usecwait(9F).
CONTEXT
delay() can be called from user and kernel contexts.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 delay() Example
Before a driver I/O routine allocates buffers and stores any user data in them, it checks the status of the device (line 12). If the device
needs manual intervention (such as, needing to be refilled with paper), a message is displayed on the system console (line 14). The driver
waits an allotted time (line 17) before repeating the procedure.
1 struct device { /* layout of physical device registers */
2 int control; /* physical device control word */
3 int status; /* physical device status word */
4 short xmit_char; /* transmit character to device */
5 };

/* on system console */
14 cmn_err(CE_WARN, "^ 07",
15 (getminor(dev) & 0xf));
16 /* wait one minute and try again */
17 delay(60 * drv_usectohz(1000000));

I want to create a new user and grant him ONLY transfer files access to a specific directory where he can only upload and read the files. He should be restricted to this activity only.

Hello for all,
I am testing the behavior of a 32 bit application running on Solaris 5.10 (SPARC), and realize it reaches 4GB of memory and then crashes.
