gsm_kick_timer(9)

💖 gsm_kick_timer(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for gsm_kick_timer(9) — it's giving tiny transmit-side nudge energy and honestly we're obsessed. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

gsm_kick_timer — transmit if possible 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void gsm_kick_timer (struct timer_list *t );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• t — the timer contained in our gsm object. literally the timer that lives in our gsm object 🫶

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So this function transmits data from DLCIs if the queue is empty. no cap, that's the whole vibe. 💫

We can't rely on a tty wakeup except when we filled the pipe, so we need to fire off new data ourselves in the other cases. it's giving self-starter main character energy fr fr. 💅
