HRTIMER_FORWARD_NOW(9)                    Driver Basics                    HRTIMER_FORWARD_NOW(9)



NAME
       hrtimer_forward_now - forward the timer expiry so it expires after now

SYNOPSIS
       u64 hrtimer_forward_now(struct hrtimer * timer, ktime_t interval);

ARGUMENTS
       timer
           hrtimer to forward

       interval
           the interval to forward

DESCRIPTION
       Forward the timer expiry so it will expire after the current time of the hrtimer clock
       base. Returns the number of overruns.

       Can be safely called from the callback function of timer. If called from other contexts
       timer must neither be enqueued nor running the callback and the caller needs to take care
       of serialization.

NOTE
       This only updates the timer expiry value and does not requeue the timer.
