💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, batadv_v_elp_start_timer — it's literally the function that restarts the timer for ELP periodic work ✨ that's the whole vibe, no cap.

This is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? It's short but it ate. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void batadv_v_elp_start_timer (struct batadv_hard_iface *hard_iface );

like, that's it. that's the whole signature. she's simple, she's clean, she returns void because she has nothing to prove 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hard_iface — the interface for which the timer has to be reset 🫶 like that's the one you're handing over so the timer can get its little restart. that's her whole job.
