\fBddi_periodic_t\fR opaque value returned by \fBddi_periodic_add\fR(9F)
.RE

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBddi_periodic_delete()\fR function cancels the \fBddi_periodic_add\fR(9F)
request that was previously issued.
.sp
.LP
As with \fBuntimeout\fR(9F), calling \fBddi_periodic_delete()\fR against a
periodic \fItimeout\fR request which is either running on another CPU, or has
already been canceled causes no problems. Unlike \fBuntimeout\fR(9F), there are
no restrictions on the lock which might be held across the call to
\fBddi_periodic_delete()\fR.
.SH CONTEXT
.sp
.LP
The \fBddi_periodic_delete()\fR function may be called from user or kernel
context.
.SH EXAMPLES
.LP
\fBExample 1 \fRCancelling a timeout request
.sp
.LP
In the following example, the device driver cancels the \fItimeout\fR request
by calling \fBddi_periodic_delete()\fR against the request that was previously
issued.

.SH NOTES
.sp
.LP
There might be a race between a callback invocation and
\fBddi_periodic_delete()\fR. A device driver should take a responsibility for
this avoidance if needed by using the kernel synchronization such as a mutex
lock or calling \fBdelay\fR(9F) as in the example above.
