fcoe_ctlr_timer_work(9)

💖 fcoe_ctlr_timer_work(9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and today's main character is literally a worker thread function 🫶 buckle up.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

fcoe_ctlr_timer_work — worker thread function for timer work. yes that's the whole job description, and honestly? iconic.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void fcoe_ctlr_timer_work (struct work_struct *work );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• work — a handle to a FCoE controller 💅 that's it, that's the whole argument, she's low maintenance.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe check on what this worker actually does:

• it ages FCFs (yes, like fine wine, except the opposite — they get old and stale 😭)
• it triggers FCF selection if possible 👑
• it sends keep-alives and resets 💀

fr fr, that's it. three things. no cap.
