okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for tick_nohz_next_event(9) — this is the one about returning the clock monotonic based next event, and yes bestie, we’re reading the whole thing. no skimming. periodt. 💅

this part is giving two return-ish cases, so let’s not blur it:

• *0 — When the next event is a maximum of TICK_NSEC in the future and the tick is not stopped yet 🎀
