💅 __bfq_activate_entity(9) — like, the activation glow-up ✨

okay so before we even start: this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie. Kernel. API. Manual. We're in the big leagues now 🎀 and the star of the show is __bfq_activate_entity — yes, with two leading underscores, she's that kind of function 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

__bfq_activate_entity — literally handles the activation of an entity. that's it, that's the whole vibe check 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void __bfq_activate_entity (struct bfq_entity *entity , bool
non_blocking_wait_rq );

no cap, that's the exact signature, character for character, don't come for me 😌

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • entity — the entity being activated. she's the main character of this function, periodt 👑
  • non_blocking_wait_rq — true if the entity was waiting for a request. like, was she in her waiting era? 🙈

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So this gets called for a 'true' activation — meaning the entity is not active, and one of its children just received a new request. it's giving "your kid booked a gig so now the whole family's booked" energy honestly 😭

Basically, what this function does is:

  • updates the timestamps of entity ⏱️
  • inserts entity into its active tree 🌳
  • and it does that after possibly extracting it from its idle tree — so she might need to leave her idle era first, no big deal, we love a smooth transition ✨

that's the whole thing. update timestamps, migrate trees, slay 💅

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this list is long, grab a snack 🍓 — but every single one's here, fr fr:

like I said. long list. but she ate, no crumbs 💀🔥

💀 real talk though: this page is from ./block and it's dated October 2026 — so if you're reading this in the future, hey bestie, you're exactly on time 🫶

okay that's the whole page, go forth and activate your entities, ily, bye 💜🧚⭐
