alarmtimer_dequeue(9)

💅 alarmtimer_dequeue — kernel API manual, but make it cute

okay so bestie, quick vibe check: this page is alarmtimer_dequeue(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's genuinely short and sweet. no cap, we're in and out. 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

alarmtimer_dequeue — Removes an alarm timer from an alarm_base timerqueue

like, it takes the alarm out of the queue. that's the whole plot. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void alarmtimer_dequeue (struct alarm_base *base , struct alarm *alarm );

it returns void — nothing comes back, it just does the thing and dips. icon behavior honestly. 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• base — pointer to the base where the timer is running. this is the timerqueue-having one, iykyk.
• alarm — pointer to alarm being removed. yes, this alarm. the one getting dequeued. main character of the operation tbh.

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

Removes alarm to a alarm_base timerqueue. ✨

🚨 big important one, bestie: you must hold base->lock when calling this. like, not optional. hold the lock. do not skip the lock. this is the whole caveat and it is not a vibe to ignore. 💀
