rvt_mod_retry_timer_ext(9)

💅 rvt_mod_retry_timer_ext(9) — like, the retry-timer-glow-up page bestie

okay so real talk, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual and it's about rvt_mod_retry_timer_ext — yes the whole name is a mouthful, we're saying it with our chest 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

rvt_mod_retry_timer_ext — mod a retry timer

that's it. that's the vibe. she modifies a retry timer, no cap 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void rvt_mod_retry_timer_ext (struct rvt_qp *qp , u8 shift );

like, she takes a QP and a shift and returns absolutely nothing (void, iconic, unbothered, moisturised) ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• qp — the QP 🦋 literally the queue pair, the main character of this whole situation, we love her
• shift — the timeout shift to wait for multiple packets. and the page also drops this whole line right here: Modify a potentially already running retry timer — so yeah, the timer might already be running and she's gonna modify it anyway, that's the entire job, no gatekeeping 💖

real talk, that shift entry is doing double duty in the original — it's the timeout shift AND the one-liner description of what the function does. kept both, don't come for me 🙈
