🌸 NAME 🌸

schedule_delayed_work_on — queue work in per-CPU workqueue on CPU after delay

like, you hand her a job, a CPU, and a lil wait time, and she delivers. no cap. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool schedule_delayed_work_on (int cpu , struct delayed_work *dwork ,
unsigned long delay );

look at her. iconic signature. returns a bool and everything. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• cpu — cpu to use 👑 (yes, that cpu, the one you picked, main character energy fr fr)
• dwork — job to be done 💖 (the actual work, the whole point, the moment)
• delay — number of jiffies to wait 🌸 (jiffies!! not seconds!! don't come for me, that's just how the kernel counts time)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: after waiting for a given time, this puts a job in the system per-CPU workqueue on the specified CPU. that's it. that's the whole thing. she waits, then she works. ⭐

lowkey obsessed with how simple that is. no drama, no extra steps, just wait → queue → slay. 🔥
