总的来说，timer的用法还是很简单的。主要需要定义一个timer_list变量timer、先初始化timer
init_timer(&timer);
then 对timer的相关参数赋值：
timer.function = fun;
timer.expires = jiffies + TIMER_DELAY;
add_timer(&timer);
在定时器时间到的时候，会执行fun，如果继续定时，可以通过
在fun中执行
mod_timer(&timer, jiffies + TIMER_DELAY);
在不需要的时候通过调用
del_timer(&timer);
删除定时器。
简单吧。这样一个简单的定时器就完成了。
呵呵。
