okay so bestie, welcome to kvm_mips_count_timeout — straight out of the Kernel API Manual and honestly? she's a little icon. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

kvm_mips_count_timeout — push the timer forward on timeout. that's it, that's the whole vibe. ⏰➡️

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

enum hrtimer_restart kvm_mips_count_timeout (struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu );

like, look at her signature. enum hrtimer_restart return, one struct kvm_vcpu * argument. clean. minimal. main character energy fr. 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • vcpu — the virtual CPU. that's the whole thing, she takes one (1) vCPU and nothing else. periodt. 💜

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so what does she do? she handles an hrtimer event by pushing the hrtimer forward a period. that's the entire job description and she does it flawlessly. ✨

no cap, that's it — event comes in, timer gets nudged forward by a period, everybody goes home happy. 🫶

⭐ RETURN ⭐

she hands you back the hrtimer_restart value, which is literally the thing you return straight to the hrtimer subsystem. no drama, no surprises, she's not gonna make you guess. 😌
