linkwatch_sync_dev(9)

Okay bestie, welcome to linkwatch_sync_dev(9) from the Kernel API Manual 💖 — this page is short, but it's still serving main character energy, and we're gonna get every detail. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

linkwatch_sync_dev — sync linkwatch for the given device. That's the whole vibe: one function, one device, one linkwatch sync. No cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void linkwatch_sync_dev (struct net_device *dev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — network device to sync linkwatch for. This is the device you're syncing linkwatch for, and yes, that's the entire argument, bestie 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Sync linkwatch for the given device, removing it from the pending work list (if queued). The “if queued” part is lowkey important — don't forget it. ✨
