π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
voidβ no arguments. none. zero. void. the function said "i don't need anything from you" and honestly? main character energy π
π DESCRIPTION π
so here's the tea β β when the caller makes a reset request, this thing disables stall detection until 3 fqs loops have passed. three whole loops. and why, you ask? because it's required to make sure a fresh jiffies is loaded. that's the whole point, iykyk π
and ngl, it should be safe to do this from the fqs loop, since by that point enough timer interrupts and context switches should have passed. like, that's the assumption. the vibes are correct. β
β οΈ but listen β the caller must disable hard irqs. not optional. not a suggestion. do it. fr fr π
