atomic_long_and(9)
π NAME (aka who is she)
atomic_long_and β the atomic bitwise AND that does the absolute most with relaxed ordering β¨
So you're on a Kernel API Manual page, bestie β that's the manual name, and yeah, we're in kernel land now π§
π SYNOPSIS
void atomic_long_and (long i , atomic_long_t *v );
That's it. Two args, zero drama (okay, some drama, it's atomic).
πΈ ARGUMENTS
iβ alongvalue. that's the thing you're AND-ing with πvβ a pointer to anatomic_long_t. like the actual target, the main character π
β¨ DESCRIPTION
okay so here's the whole vibe: it atomically updates v to (v & i) β with relaxed ordering. no cap, that's the entire operation π¦
β οΈ unsafe to use in noinstr code β use raw_atomic_long_and there instead. like, fr fr, don't do it, the kernel will not be cute about it π
π«Ά RETURN
Nothing. she gives you nothing back and she's iconic for it π
π SEE ALSO
Also, the kernel file for all this lives at ./include/linux/atomic/atomic-instrumented.h β noted, bookmarked, obsessed π
