Hi Bastien,

at first, sorry for my bad english e if i'm not clear.

The problem is that the driver i wrote for device Validity VFS101 work with
fprint_demo and pam_fprint but NOT with pam_fprintd.

I debug the driver and i find that the cause of problem is a call of
function fpi_timeout_add on the driver. Below i report the portion of code
that have the problem:

/* Callback of asynchronous sleep */
static void async_sleep_cb(void *data)
{
    struct fpi_ssm *ssm = data;

    fpi_ssm_next_state(ssm);
}

/* Submit asynchronous sleep */
static void async_sleep(unsigned int msec, struct fpi_ssm *ssm)
{
    if (fpi_timeout_add(msec, async_sleep_cb, ssm) == NULL)
        fpi_ssm_mark_aborted(ssm, -ETIME);
}

If i use fprint_demo or pam_fprint for test the driver the callback function
are correctly called after timeout and the driver work.
If i use pam_fprintd (fprintd-0.2.0) the callback are never called and the
driver are blocked.

I can't understand if it's a bug of driver or of fprintd. Can you help me ?

Bye
Sergio
