Timer thread

Hey all,

I would like to have a block of code that checks a data structure and
removes entries that are like 5 secs old or something. I’m thinking that
having a seperate thread waiting on a kernel timer object is the way to do
this, but are there any PNP or Power Management issues I have to deal with
in this approach?

Thanks,
Bryce

Why not just use a KTIMER and prune the list in the timer DPC? That way
you don’t use a thread for such a simple task.
