mod_timer

Hi all,

I need help for using mod_timer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
extern int mod_timer(struct timer_list *timer, unsigned long expires);

struct timer_list {
struct list_head entry;
unsigned long expires;

spinlock_t lock;
unsigned long magic;

void (*function)(unsigned long);
unsigned long data;

struct tvec_t_base_s *base;
};
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
what I have done.....

int my_function(unsigned long data)
{
[snip]
}
struct timer_list timer;
[snip]
timer.function=&my_funciton()
mod_timer(&timer, jiffies + 2 * HZ)

is this code sufficient........
what are other fields in struct timer_list I can use for.........
is parameter passed (expires) in mod_timer and field (expires) in
struct timer_list same

.
