💅 gsm_data_kick — poke the queue

okay so this is gsm_data_kick(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, it is exactly what it sounds like: it's the little "hey, go go go" tap on the shoulder for the queue 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gsm_data_kick — poke the queue 👉📦

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int gsm_data_kick (struct gsm_mux *gsm );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gsm — the GSM Mux 💖 (this is your main character struct, the one getting kicked)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the tty device literally just called us up to be like "hey, room appeared in the transmit queue" 📞✨ and this function is our response: ram more data into the pipe if we have any. that's it, that's the whole vibe.

but — and this is the important part, no cap — if we've been flow-stopped by a CMD_FCOFF, then we can only send messages on DLCI0 until CMD_FCON. so like, yeah, the pipe's open but the rules still apply 🙈

⚠️ the caller must hold the gsm tx lock. not optional. not later. before you call. periodt 💅

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

Kernel file ./drivers/tty/n_gsm.c — and honestly the whole friend group is here, say hi to everybody 👋
