__xa_clear_mark(9)

💅 __xa_clear_mark(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up

okay so bestie, welcome to the <pink>Kernel API Manual</pink> entry for __xa_clear_mark — yes that's the locked-version, the spicy one, the one you only call when you're already holding the lock. we love a main character who knows their context ✨

---

🌸 NAME

__xa_clear_mark — Clear this mark on this entry while locked. 🎀

like, literally just un-marking a thing. no cap. and you gotta be holding the lock, iykyk 🔒

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS

void __xa_clear_mark (struct xarray *xa , unsigned long index ,
       xa_mark_t mark );

void, bestie. it returns nothing. it simply does 💅

---

✨ ARGUMENTS

• xa — the XArray itself. the whole vibe container. 🫶
• index — Index of entry. which lil slot we're talking about, fr fr.
• mark — Mark number. the mark in question. the one getting cleared. bye boo 👋

---

🔥 CONTEXT

Any context. 💀 like, truly any. BUT — and this is the important part, don't @ me — Expects xa_lock to be held on entry.

⚠️ so yeah, <red>the lock must already be held</red> when you walk in. this function is not gonna grab it for you, she's not your mom. if you call her without the lock you're on your own, and that's a you problem 🧚
