✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the add_timer_global(9) page in the Kernel API Manual — this one is short and sweet:

add_timer_global — Start a timer without TIMER_PINNED flag set. periodt.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void add_timer_global (struct timer_list *timer );

---

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• timer — the timer to be started, obviously. that’s the whole assignment. 💖

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Same as add_timer except that the timer flag TIMER_PINNED is unset.

See add_timer for further details. no cap, that’s literally the tea. 🫖✨

bestie note: the key detail is right there — TIMER_PINNED gets unset, and add_timer has the rest of the lore. iykyk. 💅
