💅 lpfc_cmf_stats_timer(9) — Kernel API Manual 💅

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for lpfc_cmf_stats_timer, bestie. this one is short but it’s doing a whole little time-based ritual, and we’re gonna get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

lpfc_cmf_stats_timer — Save data into registered congestion buffer

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

enum hrtimer_restart lpfc_cmf_stats_timer (struct hrtimer *timer );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• timer — Timer cookie to access lpfc private data. it’s the little key that lets the timer get into lpfc’s private data 🍓

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so this function saves the congestion event data every minute. on the hour, it collapses all the minute data into hour data. every day, it collapses all the hour data into daily data. it keeps separate driver and fabrc congestion event counters — yes, fabrc, that’s what the page says — and those counters get saved out to the registered congestion buffer every minute. it’s giving scheduled-data-glow-up energy, fr fr ✨
