💅 dm_test_proc...chdog_needed(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie — yes the name up top is literally truncated with ... in the middle, that's just how it's written, don't come for me 😭. It's about dm_test_process_output_watchdog_needed, which is the star of the show. Let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

dm_test_process_output_watchdog_needed — the way this one watchdog_needed literally schedules watchdog_dwork, no cap 💅

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

void dm_test_process_output_watchdog_needed (struct kunit *test );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • test — the KUnit test context, aka the lil home base the test lives in 🧚

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe check: when output.watchdog_timer_needed is true, then process_output must schedule watchdog_timer_dwork with the specified delay. that's it, that's the whole mood. it's giving "clock in, schedule the work, clock out" ⏰✨
