💫 fnic_handle_fip_timer(9) 💫

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for fnic_handle_fip_timer — yes that's the whole name, yes it's a mouthful, we love her anyway 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

fnic_handle_fip_timer — the timeout handler for the FIP discover phase. that's it, that's the vibe. she handles timers, she discovers, she's booked and busy 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void fnic_handle_fip_timer (struct timer_list *t );

returns void, takes one arg, extremely low-maintenance queen behavior 👑

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• t — handle to the timer list 🕰️ like, this is the timer list she's gonna look at. that's the whole thing. short and sweet.

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea 🍓 — depending on what the current state is, this handler either kicks off the next phase or restarts discovery. that's literally it. state check, then move forward or run it back. main character energy either way 💖
