Helper function bpf_timer_init
This helper initializes a timer.
Definition
Copyright (c) 2015 The Libbpf Authors. All rights reserved.
Initialize the timer. First 4 bits of flags specify clockid. Only CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_REALTIME, CLOCK_BOOTTIME are allowed. All other bits of flags are reserved. The verifier will reject the program if timer is not from the same map.
Returns
0 on success. -EBUSY if timer is already initialized. -EINVAL if invalid flags are passed. -EPERM if timer is in a map that doesn't have any user references. The user space should either hold a file descriptor to a map with timers or pin such map in bpffs. When map is unpinned or file descriptor is closed all timers in the map will be cancelled and freed.
