💅 ks8851_tx_work(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 🎀 and today's main character is ks8851_tx_work(9) — yes that's the header, no I'm not copying it as a line, we're folding it in cute-style, keep up 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ks8851_tx_work — process tx packet(s) 💌

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ks8851_tx_work (struct work_struct *work );

literally that's the whole signature, no cap 🔥

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• work — the work structure what was scheduled 👀 (yes, that's the original wording's vibe and we're keeping it, it's giving charm)

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea ☕ — this one gets called when a bunch of packets have been scheduled for transmission and they need to actually get sent to the device. like, the queue said "these are ready" and this function is the one that's like "say less, sending them now" 📨✨

it's the lil work-queue glow-up that turns "scheduled" into "sent", periodt 💅
