ktime_get_c...real_ts64_mg(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ktime_get_coarse_real_ts64_mg(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so picture this: you're deep in kernel-time land, the clock is doing its little dance, and you just need to know what time it really is — or at least, what time the mg_floor says it is, whichever is later. that's this function. she's niche, she's filesystem-flavored, and she ate. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS

void ktime_get_coarse_real_ts64_mg (struct timespec64 *ts );

🎀 ARGUMENTS

  • ts — the timespec64 that gets filled. she's the output, she's the moment, she's getting written to. no cap. 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION

okay so here's the vibe check. this function fetches the global mg_floor value, converts it to realtime, and compares it to the current coarse-grained time. then it fills ts with whichever one is latest — literally the "latter of" the two. floor or clock, whoever wins, wins. 👑

and now the important part, bestie, listen up: this is a filesystem-specific interface and you should avoid it outside of that context. it's giving "only for the group chat it was made for." don't be taking her to other parties. 🫶

⚠️ fr fr — filesystem context only. if you're not in that lane, walk away. 🙈

⭐ SEE ALSO

she runs in ./kernel/time/timekeeping.c — the kernel file, iconic, we love her. and here's the whole squad, in order, nobody left behind: 💜

and that's the whole thing, bestie — brought to you straight out of ./kernel/time, dated October 2026, filed under the Kernel API Manual. slay. 💅🎀💖
