velocity_poll_controller(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to velocity_poll_controller(9) from the Kernel API Manual 💅✨ this is the Velocity Poll controller function, and we’re gonna get you comfy with it, fr fr.

🌸 NAME 🌸

velocity_poll_controller — Velocity Poll controller function 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void velocity_poll_controller (struct net_device *dev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — network device. that’s the whole argument, bestie 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This is used by NETCONSOLE and other diagnostic tools to allow network I/P with interrupts disabled. periodt 💅 it’s literally the hook for letting diagnostics do their network thing while interrupts are off, no cap.
