atl2_phy_config(9)

💫 atl2_phy_config(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual, but make it cute 💫

okay so bestie, welcome to atl2_phy_config(9) from the Kernel API Manual ✨ this is a tiny little function page and honestly it's giving "quiet main character" energy — but it does one very specific job and we're gonna understand it fr fr 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

atl2_phy_config — a Timer Call-back 💅

that's it. that's the whole vibe. it's a call-back for a timer. iconic, lowkey.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void atl2_phy_config (struct timer_list *t );

so it returns void (nothing back, no gifts 🎁), it's called atl2_phy_config, and it takes exactly one thing: a pointer to a struct timer_list named t. periodt.

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• t — a timer list that's holding a pointer to a netdev, except that pointer got cast into an unsigned long 🙈 so yeah, it's the timer list, and inside it lives a netdev pointer wearing an unsigned long disguise. no cap.
