clockevents_shutdown(9)

💅 clockevents_shutdown(9) — like, the whole Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay bestie, welcome to Kernel API Manual, the corner of the kernel where time itself gets told to sit down and chill. this page is about clockevents_shutdown, and honestly? it's giving "one job, done fabulously." 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

clockevents_shutdown — shutdown the device and clear next_event

like yes, that's literally the whole vibe: the device gets shut down, and next_event gets cleared. no notes. 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void clockevents_shutdown (struct clock_event_device *dev );

it returns void, so don't go looking for a return value, bestie — there isn't one, and that's on purpose. 💜

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — device to shutdown. that's it. that's the whole argument. hand it the struct clock_event_device you want shut down and let the function do its thing 🫶

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

ngl, the lore goes deep — here's the whole friend group, all of them living in the Kernel file ./kernel/time/clockevents.c:

• clockevent_delta2ns(9)
• clockevents_switch_state(9)
• clockevents_tick_resume(9)
• clockevents_increase_min_delta(9)
• clockevents_program_min_delta(9)

• clockevents_update_freq(9)
• clockevents_exchange_device(9)
• clockevents_suspend(9)
• clockevents_resume(9)
• tick_offline_cpu(9)

and yes, clockevents_program_min_delta(9) is in there twice — that's not a typo on my end, she just loves an encore 💅✨
