💅 cxgb4_ptp_fineadjtime — kernel API manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to the cxgb4_ptp_fineadjtime(9) page 💖 this is a kernel API manual page, and we're gonna get you comfy with it. no cap, it's short and sweet, so grab your iced coffee 🍓 and let's go.

✨ NAME ✨

cxgb4_ptp_fineadjtime — literally just shift the time of the hardware clock 🕰️ tiny nudge energy, main character timing, periodt.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int cxgb4_ptp_fineadjtime (struct adapter *adapter , s64 delta );

that's the whole vibe check right there 👑 it returns an int, takes your adapter and your delta, and does its little clock thing.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • adapter — the board private structure 🫶 like, the adapter's own personal diary of board info. it knows things.
  • delta — the desired change, in nanoseconds ⏱️ tiny tiny units, we're talking fine adjustment here, hence the name iykyk.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does it actually do? it adjusts the timer by resetting the timecounter structure 💫 that's it, that's the whole function. it's giving "reset and keep it moving," not "subtle incremental tweak." the timecounter gets reset, boom, done ✨

fr fr, that's the entire description. short king of a function 👑
