💅 __ring_buffer_alloc_remote(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for __ring_buffer_alloc_remote(9) — yes, that’s the title energy up top, and we’re folding the manual name in right here like a lil name tag 🎀.

✨ NAME ✨

__ring_buffer_alloc_remote — allocate a new ring_buffer from a remote.

       ring_buffer_remote *remote , struct lock_class_key *key );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• remote — contains a description of the ring-buffer pages and remote callbacks. that’s the whole vibe of this arg, no cap 🫶
• key — ring buffer reader_lock_key. literally the key, bestie 🔑
