7

SYNOPSIS

9       void set_timer_slack(struct timer_list * timer, int slack_hz);
10

ARGUMENTS

12       timer
13           the timer to be modified
14
15       slack_hz
16           the amount of time (in jiffies) allowed for rounding
17

DESCRIPTION

19       Set the amount of time, in jiffies, that a certain timer has in terms
20       of slack. By setting this value, the timer subsystem will schedule the
21       actual timer somewhere between the time mod_timer asks for, and that
22       time plus the slack.
23
24       By setting the slack to -1, a percentage of the delay is used instead.
