setup_link_status_change_wq(9)

💅 setup_link_status_change_wq(9) — like, the whole glow-up guide

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the main character of this page is setup_link_status_change_wq(9). say hi 👋 it's a little function that does exactly one job and, honestly? it ate. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

setup_link_status_change_wq — sets up the mtu status change work. yes that's the whole thing. no cap, that's literally what the manpage says, so that's what we're telling you. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int setup_link_status_change_wq (struct net_device *netdev );

that's the whole shape of it: it hands you back an int, and it wants one thing — a struct net_device * — before it'll do anything. she's low maintenance like that. 💜

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• netdev — network device. that's the vibe. that's the whole argument. one (1) network device and we're done here. 🫶

💀 real talk: this page is short and sweet, so there's genuinely nothing else on it — no options, no env vars, no exit statuses. don't go looking for drama that isn't there. iykyk.
