Subject: mark_bh in Linux 2.6.12 kernel

Hi all,
We are porting a usb host controller driver from 2.4.18 kernel to 2.6.12
kernel. We face some issues with
mark_bh( ) call. Can anyone suggest us how we proceed in porting mark_bh( )
in the 2.6.12 kernel.

thanks and regards
shiva g

Posting the source may give you more/better feedback...

Here is the source

static __inline__ void usbd_schedule_device_bh(struct usb_device_instance
*device)
{
if (device && (device->status != USBD_CLOSING) &&
!device->device_bh.sync) {
queue_task(&device->device_bh, &tq_immediate);
mark_bh(IMMEDIATE_BH);
}
}

Also,in the below code, will replacing "schedule_task" simply by
"schedule_work" work?
static __inline__ void usbd_schedule_function_bh(struct usb_device_instance
*device)
{
if (device && (device->status != USBD_CLOSING) &&
!device->function_bh.sync) {
schedule_task(&device->function_bh);
}

Have a look at http://lwn.net/images/pdf/LDD3/ch10.pdf

It should answer your questions.
