💅 qla4xxx_timer(9) — the kernel API manual, bestie edition

okay so real talk: this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about qla4xxx_timer. tiny page, big job. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

qla4xxx_timer — checks every second for work to do.

like literally. every second. it pulls up, does a vibe check on whether there's anything to do, and that's the whole personality. 🕐

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void qla4xxx_timer (struct timer_list *t );

copy that exactly, spaces and all — don't be out here "fixing" the formatting, i'm watching 👀

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• t — the context you use to obtain a pointer to the host adapter structure. that's it. that's the arg. it's giving "small but crucial" 🫶
