okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β yes that's the manual name, we're in the big-league kernel docs now, so grab a boba and let's go π§β¨
This one's a tiny little function that keeps your FDC fed when interrupts are being drama-avoidant. Lowkey iconic behaviour, ngl.
β¨ NAME β¨
mips_ejtag_fdc_tty_timer β poll FDC for incoming data π
Like, it just goes and checks. Repeatedly. Main character energy of the "are we there yet" variety.
π SYNOPSIS π
void mips_ejtag_fdc_tty_timer (struct timer_list *t );
Copy it exactly like that, mwah. π
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
tβ so the manual literally says-- undescribed --for this one. Not me making that up, that's legit what's written, the docs just did not elaborate and honestly? Respect the mystery. π
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
So here's the vibe check: this is the timer handler for when interrupts are disabled and somebody's gotta poll the FDC state. No interrupts? No problem, we poll. π
It does two things and it does them slayfully:
- it simply triggers the common FDC handler code π₯
- and it arranges for further polling β so the timer keeps on keepin' on, like a group chat that never dies π
That's it. That's the whole function. Short queen behaviour, no cap. π
β SEE ALSO β
Kernel file ./drivers/tty/mips_ejtag_fdc.c struct β yes, that's exactly how it's written in the source page, we do not edit the lore π«Ά

heads up bestie: the argtbeing<italic>t</italic>-shaped and completely undiscribed is a real thing in this page, so don't go inventing a meaning for it. iykyk π
and that's the whole page! this gem lives under ./drivers/tty, dated October 2026 β talk about a future-vibes timestamp, we love a page that's ahead of schedule β°π
mwah, go poll something, you've got this π§ββοΈπβ
