binder_enque...work_ilocked(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for binder_enqueue_thread_work_ilocked — the iconic internal Binder helper whose whole job is to add an item to the thread work list. No cap, that’s the vibe. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void binder_enqueue_thread_work_ilocked (struct binder_thread *thread ,
struct binder_work *work );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• thread — thread to queue work to
• work — struct binder_work to add to list

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So basically: this adds the work to the todo list of the thread, and it enables processing of the todo queue. That’s the whole slay. ✨

⚠️ lock check, bestie: this requires proc->inner_lock to be held. Like, actually. Not optional. No cap. 🔥
