drm_sched_suspend_timeout(9)

✨ drm_sched_suspend_timeout 💅

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this one is a tiny little function with a big job: it puts the scheduler's job timeout to sleep 😴

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

drm_sched_suspend_timeout — suspends the scheduler job timeout, literally what it says on the tin 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

unsigned long drm_sched_suspend_timeout (struct drm_gpu_scheduler *sched
);

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• sched — the scheduler instance you want to suspend the timeout on. that's it, that's the whole argument list, she's low maintenance 💅

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so the way this works is: it suspends the delayed work timeout for the scheduler. how? by straight up modifying that delayed work timeout to an arbitrary large value — MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT in this case. like, "go away and come back never" energy 😭 iconic honestly.

and then it returns the timeout remaining. so you get your little leftover number back, no cap 💖
