💖 amdgpu_gem_timeout — calculate jiffies timeout from absolute value 💖

Okay bestie, welcome to amdgpu_gem_timeout(9) from the Kernel API Manual. This is the whole page, and yes, it’s a tiny little helper doing a very specific glow-up: nanoseconds go in, jiffies come out. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

amdgpu_gem_timeout — calculate jiffies timeout from absolute value

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

unsigned long amdgpu_gem_timeout (uint64_t timeout_ns );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• timeout_ns — timeout in ns

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Calculate the timeout in jiffies from an absolute timeout in ns.

Like, that’s genuinely it. You hand over an absolute timeout measured in nanoseconds, and this function calculates the equivalent timeout in jiffies. Short, sweet, and lowkey iconic. 💅
