NAME
schedule_timeout - sleep until timeout
SYNOPSIS
signed long __sched schedule_timeout(signed long timeout);
ARGUMENTS
timeout timeout value in jiffies
DESCRIPTION
Make the current task sleep until timeout jiffies have elapsed. The routine will return immediately unless the current task state has been set (see set_current_state). You can set the task state as follows - TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE - at least timeout jiffies are guaranteed to pass before the routine returns. The routine will return 0 TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE - the routine may return early if a signal is delivered to the current task. In this case the remaining time in jiffies will be returned, or 0 if the timer expired in time The current task state is guaranteed to be TASK_RUNNING when this routine returns. Specifying a timeout value of MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT will schedule the CPU away without a bound on the timeout. In this case the return value will be MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT. In all cases the return value is guaranteed to be non-negative.
