💅 check_slab_journal_commit_threshold — Kernel API Manual

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a little function from the dm-vdo corner of the kernel and honestly? it's giving vibe check on the journal 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

check_slab_journal_commit_threshold — literally checks whether the journal is over the threshold, and if it is, forces the oldest slab journal tail block to commit 🫶

no cap, that's the whole thing. it peeks at the journal, goes "hmm, are we past the line?", and if yes, it makes that oldest tail block commit. iconic behavior honestly 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void check_slab_journal_commit_threshold (struct recovery_journal *journal );

(yes, the spacing is exactly like that, we don't fix what the kernel gave us 😭)

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • journal — The journal. that's it. that's the argument 💖 it's a struct recovery_journal * and it's the journal we're checking. main character energy tbh 👑
