How to delay umount of SDcard on Android to complete my own file io
My application needs a guaranteed time to complete some IO on an SDcard before the SDcard is unmounted. My solution is to write a linux kernel module that inserts a wrapper 开发者_StackOverflowaround the umount system call that will delay the actual umount and call me back to complete my work.
My code may have root privileged components.
Any less obstructive solutions?
Though I can't guarantee it, I believe that umount will automatically wait for that. That's one of the reasons to use umount (instead of directly removing the sdcard).
Also, you can't «write a linux kernel module» and "install" it into an android device. What you would have to do would involve recompiling android, making a custom ROM and install that to the desired device. Each device would need a different ROM, etc. I don't think this conceivable for you.
Anyway, umount should wait for any IO operation to finish (maybe with a timeout). I don't see a solution in case you have several files to send and what to ensure that all of them will be written.
