tick_broadca...shot_control(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to the tick_broadca...shot_control(9) page from the Kernel API Manual 💅 this one is literally about tick_broadcast_oneshot_control — enter/exit broadcast oneshot mode. periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int tick_broadcast_oneshot_control (enum tick_broadcast_state state );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• state — the target state, aka enter/exit. that’s the whole vibe check for this argument 💫

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the system enters/leaves a state, where affected devices might stop. that’s the situation, no cap.

it returns 0 on success, and -EBUSY if the cpu is used to broadcast wakeups. noted, bestie 😌

this is called with interrupts disabled, so clockevents_lock is not required here — because the local clock event device cannot go away under us. iconic little safety detail, fr fr 💜
