💅 atomic64_fetch_andnot — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the atomic64_fetch_andnot(9) page, the manual name is literally right there in the title so we're already slaying. this is a kernel API manual, and it's short but it's iconic. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME

atomic64_fetch_andnot — atomic bitwise AND NOT with full ordering

like, yes, that's the whole vibe. AND NOT, but make it atomic, but make it ordered. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS

s64 atomic64_fetch_andnot (s64 i , atomic64_t *v );

look at her. two args. very demure. 🦋

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS

• i — s64 value
• v — pointer to atomic64_t

that's it. that's the whole cast. i is a plain old s64, v is your pointer to an atomic64_t. main character energy from both of them honestly. 👑

---

💖 DESCRIPTION

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this thing atomically updates v to (v & ~i) with full ordering.

read that twice bestie. it's AND NOT: you take v, you AND it with the bitwise NOT of i, and it all happens atomically. and the "full ordering" part isn't decorative — it's giving serious memory-barrier realness, no cap. 🔥

⚠️ warning time, and this one's for real: it's unsafe to use in noinstr code. use raw_atomic64_fetch_andnot there instead. don't be the person who ignores this, i'm literally begging 🙈

---

⭐ RETURN

The original value of v. 📸

like a little before-picture of your variable, handed straight back to you. obsessed.

okay so the source lives in the kernel file ./include/linux/atomic/atomic-instrumented.h, and then there's… the family. the whole family. buckle up, we're listing everybody, and yes every single one of them is a (9) page, periodt. 💀

and that's the page bestie!! 💜 go forth and AND NOT atomically, with full ordering, and please stay out of noinstr code with this one. 🫶

sign-off time 🎀 — this little number comes from the kernel source path ./include/linux/atomic, dated October 2026, and the manual it lives in is atomic64_fetch_andnot(9). mwah. 💋
