Hi all As an experiment, i am trying to use softirq instead of using tasklet in my driver code.

Softirqs are meant for very critical processing. Why don't you reconsider?

I was passing the driver's structure pointer to the tasklet.

Tasklet or softirq?

The "open_softirq" takes only the function pointer as argument. Since we can't pass any argument to the softirq, is there any workaround that is possible to make the structure pointer accessible to softirq?

Anyways, you would've defined the softirq handler in your driver. right?

I just need to do this for taking measurements. Timestamps?
