Module kernel::time

Time related primitives.

This module contains the kernel APIs related to time and timers that have been ported or wrapped for usage by Rust code in the kernel.

C header: include/linux/jiffies.h. C header: include/linux/ktime.h.

Structs

• Ktime
  A Rust wrapper around a ktime_t.

Constants

• NSEC_PER_MSEC
  The number of nanoseconds per millisecond.

Functions

• ktime_ms_delta
  Returns the number of milliseconds between two ktimes.
• msecs_to_jiffies
  Converts milliseconds to jiffies.

Type Aliases

• Jiffies
  The time unit of Linux kernel. One jiffy equals (1/HZ) second.
• Msecs
  The millisecond time unit.
