timer_pending 💅

okay so this is the timer_pending(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and we're folding the manual name in right here near the top because we're cute like that 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

timer_pending — is a timer pending? 👀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int timer_pending (const struct timer_list * timer );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• timer — the timer in question, bestie. that's the one we're checking 💖

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

timer_pending will tell you whether a given timer is currently pending or not. very demure, very direct ✨

Callers must ensure serialization wrt. other operations done to this timer, eg. interrupt contexts, or other CPUs on SMP. no cap, that's the serious part — you gotta make sure things are serialized around this timer with respect to those other operations, like interrupt contexts or other CPUs on SMP 🔥

👑 RETURN 👑

1 if the timer is pending, 0 if not. literally just those two values, bestie 💅
