πŸ’… mips_ejtag_fdc_tty_timer(9) πŸ’…

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 πŸ§‹βœ¨

This one's a tiny little function that keeps your FDC fed when interrupts are being drama-avoidant. Lowkey iconic behaviour, ngl.


✨ NAME ✨

mips_ejtag_fdc_tty_timer β€” poll FDC for incoming data πŸ’Œ

Like, it just goes and checks. Repeatedly. Main character energy of the "are we there yet" variety.


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

void mips_ejtag_fdc_tty_timer (struct timer_list *t );

Copy it exactly like that, mwah. πŸ’‹


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • t β€” 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. πŸ™ˆ

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

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. πŸ’…

It does two things and it does them slayfully:

  • it simply triggers the common FDC handler code πŸ”₯
  • and it arranges for further polling β€” so the timer keeps on keepin' on, like a group chat that never dies 😭

That's it. That's the whole function. Short queen behaviour, no cap. πŸ‘‘

heads up bestie: the arg t being <italic>t</italic>-shaped and completely undiscribed is a real thing in this page, so don't go inventing a meaning for it. iykyk 🌈

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°πŸ’–

mwah, go poll something, you've got this πŸ§šβ€β™€οΈπŸŽ€β­
