ENUM DIM_CQ_PERIOD_MODE(9)

💅 enum dim_cq_period_mode(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this is the page for enum dim_cq_period_mode, and it's literally just the vibe-check menu for how we count CQ periods. tiny page, but iconic. no cap.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum dim_cq_period_mode — the modes for CQ period count 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

enum dim_cq_period_mode {
    DIM_CQ_PERIOD_MODE_START_FROM_EQE ,
    DIM_CQ_PERIOD_MODE_START_FROM_CQE ,
    DIM_CQ_PERIOD_NUM_MODES

};

like, that's the whole thing. three little members, main character energy, periodt 💅

---

🦋 Constants 🦋

okay so here's the cast, one by one:

• DIM_CQ_PERIOD_MODE_START_FROM_EQE — start counting from EQE. that's it, that's the whole personality 🫶
• DIM_CQ_PERIOD_MODE_START_FROM_CQE — start counting from CQE. heads up tho: this one implies timer reset ⏱️ so like, not me changing the timer on you 🙈
• DIM_CQ_PERIOD_NUM_MODES — literally just the number of modes. it's giving "count the options" energy, and honestly? slay 🔥
