okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for blk_set_stacking_limits β yes that's a lot of underscores, no we're not scared of them π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
blk_set_stacking_limits β sets the default limits for stacking devices, periodt π«
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
void blk_set_stacking_limits (struct queue_limits *lim );
literally that's it. one function, one pointer, zero drama π
β¨ ARGUMENTS β¨
limβ thequeue_limitsstructure you're resetting. that's the whole vibe check: hand it over and it gets reset πΈ
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
so here's the tea β β this one preps your queue limits so that limits from the underlying devices can actually be applied using blk_stack_limits. it's giving "get the base layer ready before you stack on top", and honestly? main character energy π
think of it as setting up the defaults first, then letting blk_stack_limits do its thing. no cap, that's the entire plot π¦
