atomic_long_set(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME 💅

atomic_long_set — literally just atomically setting a long, but with relaxed ordering ✨

Ok so real talk, bestie: this page comes from the Kernel API Manual, and the whole thing lives in the kernel file ./include/linux/atomic/atomic-instrumented.h 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void atomic_long_set (atomic_long_t *v , long i );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • v — pointer to atomic_long_t 💖 (the thing you're writing into)
  • i — long value to assign ⭐ (the thing you're putting in it)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Atomically sets v to i with relaxed ordering. That's it, that's the whole vibe. Simple, clean, main character energy 👑

⚠️ Heads up, no cap: it's unsafe to use in noinstr code — use raw_atomic_long_set there instead. Don't be that girl who ignores this one, fr fr 💀

🌈 RETURN 🌈

Nothing. Not a single thing. It returns void and it's thriving 🙈

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

The kernel file ./include/linux/atomic/atomic-instrumented.h — and like, an absolutely iconic amount of friends 😭💖

That's the whole page, bestie — sourced from ./include/linux/atomic, dated October 2026. Go set a long atomically, you absolute icon 💅✨🎀
