timer_base_try_to_set_idle(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to timer_base_try_to_set_idle(9) from the Kernel API Manual 🫶✨. This page is about timer_base_try_to_set_idle — Try to set the idle state of the timer bases 💅.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       u64 timer_base_try_to_set_idle (unsigned long basej , u64 basem , bool
       *idle );

No cap, that's the whole signature. periodt 💫

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• basej — base time jiffies ⏱️
• basem — base time clock monotonic 🕰️
• idle — pointer to store the value of timer_base->is_idle on return; *idle contains the information whether tick was already stopped 🛑✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

the way that it returns the tick aligned clock monotonic time of the next pending timer, or KTIME_MAX if no timer is pending 🔥. When tick was already stopped, KTIME_MAX is returned as well — same energy, no timer magic 💀.
