__run_timers(9)

hey bestie 💖 welcome to __run_timers(9) from the Kernel API Manual — we're talking timer-vector business, and yes, this page is short but it still ate.

🌸 NAME 🌸

__run_timers — run all expired timers (if any) on this CPU. That's the whole vibe: expired timers get run, and if there aren't any? Then there's nothing to run, no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void __run_timers (struct timer_base *base );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• base — the timer vector to be processed. That's the one thing you hand over, bestie.
