asd_start_scb_timers(9)

✨ NAME ✨

asd_start_scb_timers — - - (add and) start timers of SCBs 💅. Yep, that double - - is part of the name-line chaos, and we’re keeping it exactly, no cap. This page is from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and she is here to handle SCB timers, periodt.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

Here’s the exact signature, bestie — keep the spacing, because it’s literally written like this:

void asd_start_scb_timers (struct list_head *list );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• list — pointer to struct list_head of the scbs. That’s the list of SCBs she’s working with, and yes, lowercase scbs is the vibe 🫶.

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so the flow is: if an SCB in the list has no timer function, assign the default one, then start the timer of the SCB. That’s it — no extra steps, no secret lore, just timer assignment and timer starting 🔥.

This function is intended to be called from asd_post_ascb_list, just prior to posting the SCBs to the sequencer. So picture asd_post_ascb_list doing its thing right before the SCBs get posted to the sequencer, and this function is the timer-starting moment in that lineup ✨.
