schedule_tim...nterruptible(9)

💖 NAME 💖

schedule_timeout_interruptible — bestie, this one literally just sleeps until the timeout hits, and it's the interruptible kind ✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

signed long schedule_timeout_interruptible (signed long timeout );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• timeout — the timeout value in jiffies, no cap 🫶 that's the whole vibe of this argument, it's just how long you're gonna nap for

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, the actual deets? Go see schedule_timeout for those — this page is not the main character of that story, it's giving "see also, bestie" energy 😭

The one thing you do need to know: task state gets set to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE before the timeout even starts. Periodt. That's the whole personality of this function 💅

ngl, "interruptible" in the name is not decoration — it's the whole point, and the description is literally just that one line about TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. Don't come for me, I'm just relaying what the page says 🔥
