✨ PROBE::WORKQUEUE.EXECUTE ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Interrupt Request (IRQ) Tapset section of the SystemTap Tapset Reference 💅 this little page lives in section 3stap and it's all about catching a workqueue in the wild, mid-grind, doing its lil deferred-work moment 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

probe::workqueue.execute — Executing deferred work

like. the probe that fires when the deferred work is actually, finally, being executed. no cap 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

probe workqueue.execute {}

that's it. that's the whole vibe. she's minimal, she's iconic, she shows up exactly when the workqueue thread starts running the work ✨

💖 VALUES 💖

these are the lil variables you get handed inside the probe, and honestly? obsessed. every single one, listed, no skipping 🙈

• work — the work_struct* being executed 🌈 pointer to the work item that's getting its moment rn.
