Where does policy come from? Is the source the reference,
is there some policy somewhere, or something to refer to
determine the most right solution to a problem? Or do I just
ask "hackers"?
For example, I'm in need of a millsecond or microsecond delay
function for a device driver.
Does DELAY() do what I expect? Some of the drivers seem to
use other strategies for achieveing this affect.
Also, I'm in need if a 'do { } while (!done && !timeout)'. Is there
a recommended way to implement this in device drivers.
Thanks,
Brian Litzinger
