atomic_long..._and_release(9)

💅 atomic_long_fetch_and_release — NAME

ok so picture this: atomic_long_fetch_and_release — atomic bitwise AND, but make it release ordering. that's the whole vibe, bestie ✨

(yw, this is straight out of the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's giving "niche but iconic".)

---

🫶 SYNOPSIS

long atomic_long_fetch_and_release (long i , atomic_long_t *v );

like yes, two args, no drama 🎀

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS

• i — a long value. just a long. a whole long. that's it, that's the girl 💜
• v — pointer to atomic_long_t. this is the one we're messing with ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION

okay so listen 💖 — this bad bitch atomically updates v to (v & i) with release ordering. atomically, meaning the whole thing lands in one go, no half-finished nonsense. with release ordering, meaning the memory-ordering fairy has been consulted and the vibe check passed 👑

⚠️ unsafe to use in noinstr code — no cap, do NOT do it. use raw_atomic_long_fetch_and_release there instead. that's the whole rule, periodt 💀

---

🌈 RETURN

it hands you back the original value of v — yep, the one from before the AND happened. the before-picture 🎀
