atomic_long_...dnot_acquire(9)

🌸 atomic_long_...dnot_acquire(9) — the one with the acquire ordering 🌸

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, the vibe is atomic bitwise AND NOT, but make it ✨acquire✨. we're doing concurrency today, hydrate first 💅

---

💖 NAME 💖

atomic_long_fetch_andnot_acquire — atomic bitwise AND NOT with acquire ordering.

like, it does the AND-NOT thing atomically, and it comes with acquire ordering attached. no cap.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

long atomic_long_fetch_andnot_acquire (long i , atomic_long_t *v );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• i — a long value. that's it, that's the whole thing, she's just a long 😌
• v — pointer to atomic_long_t. the actual target, the main character 💫

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So what she does: she atomically updates v to (v & ~i) — with acquire ordering. literally the whole personality right there. atomic. AND NOT. acquire. 🫶

⚠️ Important safety moment, bestie: it is unsafe to use in noinstr code. that's the rule. if you're in noinstr, you use raw_atomic_long_fetch_andnot_acquire there instead. don't fight it, that's just how it is 💀

---

👑 RETURN 👑

She hands you back the original value of v — you know, the value from before the update. the before-picture. the pre-slaying state 📸
