ibmvnic_wait_for_completion(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME 💅

ibmvnic_wait_for_completion — bestie, this one checks the device state and waits for completion, like a loyal friend holding your spot in line 🫶

Oh and hiii, welcome to the kernel API manual for ibmvnic_wait_for_completion(9) — yes that's the whole title, we're getting comfy in here ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ibmvnic_wait_for_completion (struct ibmvnic_adapter *adapter ,
struct completion *comp_done , unsigned long timeout );

It's giving "three arguments, one int, no notes" 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • adapter — the private device data, aka the main character's personal info 🫶 literally the device's whole vibe in one struct.
  • comp_done — the completion structure to wait for, the thing we're sitting here refreshing for like a group chat reply 😭
  • timeout — how long we're willing to wait, measured in milliseconds (yes, milliseconds, not vibes) ⏱️

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: we wait for a completion signal, OR we wait until the timeout limit is reached — whichever comes first, no cap 💀

and while we're doing all that waiting, it's also checking that the device is still active, because bestie stays observant 👀✨ multitasking icon behaviour fr fr.

So like: wait for the signal, watch the clock, keep an eye on the device. All at once. Slay 🔥
