atomic_long..._add_relaxed(9)

💅 atomic_long..._add_relaxed(9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual glow-up for atomic_long..._add_relaxed(9). This is your atomic-add-with-relaxed-ordering moment, and yes, it's giving main character energy. 🫶

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

atomic_long_fetch_add_relaxed — atomic add with relaxed ordering. Periodt. 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

long atomic_long_fetch_add_relaxed (long i , atomic_long_t *v );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• i — a long value to add. It's the number being added, bestie. ✨
• v — pointer to atomic_long_t. This is the atomic thing getting updated. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea: this function atomically updates v to (v + i) with relaxed ordering. The way it does the whole atomic add is the main character move. 🫶

Real talk, no cap: it is unsafe to use in noinstr code. Use raw_atomic_long_fetch_add_relaxed there instead. Periodt. 💀

---

👑 RETURN 👑

It hands you back the original value of v. The before pic, not the after pic. 💅
