apparmor_uring_sqpoll(9)

🦋 apparmor_uring_sqpoll — the Kernel API Manual moment

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (like, the kernel's own group chat of docs) and it's all about apparmor_uring_sqpoll(9). yes bestie, that's a whole mouthful, but it's lowkey iconic once you get it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

apparmor_uring_sqpoll — check if a io_uring polling thread can be created

like, it's the vibe-check bouncer at the door of io_uring polling-thread creation 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int apparmor_uring_sqpoll (void );

there she is. one function, zero drama, returns an int. periodt ✨

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• void — no arguments. literally none. nothing. the function said "i need nobody" and honestly? main character energy 👑

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so what does it actually do, you ask? it checks to see if the current task is allowed to create a new io_uring kernel polling thread 🌀

that's it, that's the whole thing. it's a permission check, bestie. it looks at whoever's asking, goes "hmm, and does this task get to spin up a fresh io_uring kernel polling thread?", and that's the entire personality. no cap 🫶
