👑 bfq_calc_finish(9) — Kernel API Manual energy 👑

Okay bestie, so this is a tiny little function that does one thing and does it iconically: it hands a finish time to an entity. That's it, that's the whole vibe. It's giving "I'm a helper function and I know my purpose." No cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

bfq_calc_finish — assign the finish time to an entity.

Like, you give it an entity, you give it some service, and it goes "cool, here's your finish time bestie, slay." That's the whole job. Short, sweet, and useful. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void bfq_calc_finish (struct bfq_entity *entity , unsigned long service
);

Yeah it's a void function, so it doesn't return anything. It just does the thing and leaves. Respect. 🫶

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • entity — the entity to act upon. This is the main character of the function. The one getting its finish time assigned. Main character energy fr fr. 🔥
  • service — the service to be charged to the entity. Like, the amount of service that gets accounted to entity. It's an unsigned long, so it's a whole number, no decimals, no drama. 💖

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

Lowkey the supporting cast is huge. Like, this function is in the ./block/bfq-wf2q.c kernel file, and it hangs out with so many other functions. Here's the full squad, no one left behind:

That's a whole friend group right there. Periodt. 🌈

Listen bestie, if you're poking around in bfq_calc_finish, you're probably deep in the BFQ scheduler internals. Stay curious, read the friend group functions too, and don't break anything. You got this. 💪
