💅 bfq_put_idle_entity — kernel API manual, bestie edition ✨

Okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual about bfq_put_idle_entity(9) — yes the (9) is the section, don't @ me. It's a tiny little function but it's lowkey doing important cleanup work, and honestly? She's iconic for it. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

bfq_put_idle_entity — release the idle tree ref of an entity.

That's it. That's the whole vibe. She drops a ref. Somebody had to do it. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void bfq_put_idle_entity (struct bfq_service_tree *st , struct
bfq_entity *entity );

Look at her go 😭 two params, zero drama, returns void because she does not owe you an answer. Periodt.

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • st — the service tree for the entity. Like, this is the tree she's hanging out in, okay? That's her venue. 🌈
  • entity — the entity being released. Yeah this is the main character of the whole operation, the one getting her ref put back. Bye bestie 👋💖

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

No cap, this function does not roll alone — she's part of a whole friend group. The kernel file she lives in is ./block/bfq-wf2q.c, and here's literally everyone else in the group chat:

Like I said. Whole friend group. Iykyk 💀✨

Okay that's the whole page bestie, go read the source, mwah 💋

Sign-off time: this page is from ./block and it's dated October 2026 ⭐ and the header/footer both just say bfq_put_idle_entity(9) because she's consistent like that. Slay. 💅🔥
