wiphy_delayed_work_queue(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for wiphy_delayed_work_queue — yes, that whole mouthful is the title, and it's literally all about queue delayed work for the wiphy ✨💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void wiphy_delayed_work_queue (struct wiphy *wiphy , struct wiphy_delayed_work *dwork , unsigned long delay );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• wiphy — the wiphy to queue for 💖
• dwork — the delayable worker 🫶
• delay — number of jiffies to wait before queueing ⏳

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This is useful for work that must be done asynchronously, and work queued here has the special property that the wiphy mutex will be held as if wiphy_lock was called, and that it cannot be running after wiphy_lock was called 😭🔥

Therefore, wiphy_cancel_work can use just cancel_work instead of cancel_work_sync, and it requires being in a section protected by wiphy_lock 👑

timer tea, bestie: note that these are scheduled with a timer where the accuracy becomes less the longer in the future the scheduled timer is. Use wiphy_hrtimer_work_queue if the timer must not be late by more than approximately 10 percent ⏰✨

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

okay bestie, buckle up 💅 because "see also" on this page is not a cute little footnote — it's a whole syllabus. this is literally the entire cfg80211 cinematic universe and i'm lowkey obsessed. every single entry is here, i didn't skip a single one, because the way that y'all would come for me if i dropped one 😭 so grab a snack 🍓 and let's go.
