okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for console_srcu_write_flags — it's giving tiny-but-important console helper energy, and we're gonna get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

console_srcu_write_flags — write flags for a registered console 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void console_srcu_write_flags (struct console *con , short flags );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• con — a struct console pointer for the console whose flags you're writing to 🫶
• flags — the new flags value to write 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, this function writes flags for a registered console. That's the whole vibe. But bestie, there is a rule and we do not ignore it:

Only use this function to write flags for registered consoles. It requires holding the console_list_lock.

No cap — registered consoles only, and hold console_list_lock while you're at it. That lock requirement is literally not optional 😭🔒

🔥 CONTEXT 🔥

Any context. Yep, literally any context — that's the whole context section, periodt 💅
