💖 link_stat_timer_handler(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — today's main character is link_stat_timer_handler, and no cap, she's a tiny little timer callback with a very important job 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

link_stat_timer_handler — she schedules the work that goes and grabs the mac address and the link status 💅 like that's literally her whole thing

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void link_stat_timer_handler (struct timer_list *t );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• t — a pointer to a timer_list, and that timer_list is holding a pointer to the USB device instance 🫶 iykyk

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so here's the vibe check: the handler runs in interrupt context 😭 and that's exactly why we gotta defer the tasks to a work queue — like, we cannot be doing all that in interrupt context, that's not the moment, bestie 💀✨
