__mips_set_bit(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the __mips_set_bit(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — this is lowkey iconic and it's giving "atomic bit energy" ✨💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

__mips_set_bit — atomically set a bit in memory. set_bit() calls this if it cannot find a faster solution. no cap, it's the backup plan that still ate 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void __mips_set_bit (unsigned long nr , volatile unsigned long *addr );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• nr — the bit to set. that's the bit getting chosen, bestie 🦋
• addr — the address to start counting from. this is where the counting starts, fr fr 🌸

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
