idpf_init_task(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for idpf_init_task(9) — delayed init task realness, no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

idpf_init_task — Delayed initialization task. periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void idpf_init_task (struct work_struct *work );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• work — the work_struct handle to our data. 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so here’s the tea: the init task finishes up pending work started in probe. Because the device communicates with hardware asynchronously, we may have to wait several milliseconds to get a response. Instead of busy polling in probe, pulling it out into a delayed work task prevents us from bogging down the whole system waiting for a response from hardware. 😭🔥
