STRUCT LIBETH_XDPSQ_TIMER(9)

💅 NAME 💅

struct libeth_xdpsq_timer — the timer bestie that cleans up your XDPSQs when interrupts are not the vibe 🧹✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct libeth_xdpsq_timer {
    void *xdpsq;
    struct libeth_xdpsq_lock        *lock;
    struct delayed_work             dwork;
 };

🎀 Members 🎀

• xdpsq — the queue this timer belongs to, like its emotional support queue fr fr 🫶
• lock — the lock for the queue, keeps everything from getting messy 🔒
• dwork — the work that actually performs the cleanups, the main character doing the labor 💪

🌸 Description 🌸

Okay so picture this: some XDPSQs don't use interrupts, they're doing lazy cleaning instead — meaning they only tidy up when there's literally no space left to send the current queued frame/bulk 😭. Those ones absolutely have to fire up timers, no cap, so they can make sure there are no stale buffers just sitting there needing to be freed. It's giving "I'll get to it eventually" but make it kernel-safe 🦋

ngl this is the whole point of the struct — no timers, no cleanup, and then stale buffers are just chilling there rent free 💀
