timer_clear_idle(9)

💅 timer_clear_idle(9) — the Kernel API Manual tea ☕✨

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the function on the menu is timer_clear_idle — say it with me, she's iconic, she's brief, she does exactly one thing 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

timer_clear_idle — literally just clears the idle state of the timer base. that's her whole personality. no cap 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void timer_clear_idle (void );

look at that. not a single argument in sight. she takes nothing and she gives everything 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• void — no arguments. none. zero. the void is voiding. she said "i need nobody" and honestly? main character energy 👑

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the vibe check: this one gets called with interrupts disabled. that's it, that's the whole description. short and sweet like a two-word text from your bestie 😭

fr fr though — interrupts are disabled when this runs, so don't go acting surprised about it later. that detail is not decorative, it's the whole point 🚨
