💅 bfq_activate_requeue_entity(9) — Kernel API Manual 🎀

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual, and today's main character is bfq_activate_requeue_entity — the function that activates or requeues an entity representing a bfq_queue, and also activates, requeues or repositions all the ancestors for which that update becomes necessary. like, the whole family tree gets a vibe check, no cap. 🌸

✨ NAME ✨

bfq_activate_requeue_entity — activate or requeue an entity representing a bfq_queue, and activate, requeue or reposition all ancestors for which such an update becomes necessary. it's giving "whole bloodline gets notified" energy, fr fr. 🔥

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void bfq_activate_requeue_entity (struct bfq_entity *entity , bool
non_blocking_wait_rq , bool requeue , bool expiration );

no return value, she just does her thing and leaves 💅

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

  • entity — the entity to activate. that's her, that's the girl. the one getting activated. 👑
  • non_blocking_wait_rq — true if this entity was waiting for a request. literally just a "yeah she was waiting on a req" flag. 🫶
  • requeue — true if this is a requeue, which implies that bfqq is being expired; thus ALL its ancestors stop being served and must therefore be requeued. so like... expiration is a whole group-chat event and everybody gets moved, periodt. 💀
  • expiration — true if this function is being invoked in the expiration path of the in-service queue. iykyk — you're on the expiration path, bestie. ⭐
