From 4e5ffbf29c2042464c64998d2798431c358df251 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Abbott Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2015 16:59:20 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] staging: comedi: comedi_test: make timer rate similar to scan rate The asynchronous command handling for the analog input subdevice uses a kernel timer which expires approximately `HZ` times a second. However, it only needs to do anything after each scan period. Set the timer to expire just after the next scan period. Although the timer expiry function `waveform_ai_interrupt()` uses precise time values to generate the fake waveforms used to generate the data, those time values are constructed in a precise sequence, and do not depend on the time the timer expiry function is actually called. So the timer expiry rate does not have to be very precise.
