💅 cpumask_or_equal — a Kernel API Manual moment, bestie ✨

okay so real talk, we're in the Kernel API Manual and today's main character is cpumask_or_equal(9). it's short, it's sweet, it does exactly one (1) thing, and honestly? iconic. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

cpumask_or_equal — literally just *src1p | *src2p == *src3p. that's it. that's the whole vibe check. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool cpumask_or_equal (const struct cpumask *src1p , const struct cpumask *src2p , const struct cpumask *src3p );

like, bool in, bool out, three cpumask pointers, no drama. 🫶

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

  • src1p — the first input. yeah. that's the whole description. she's a mystery but she's doing her best. 🎀
  • src2p — the second input. the OR partner-in-crime. 🔥
  • src3p — the third input. the one everybody gets compared to. 👑

⭐ RETURN ⭐

true if first cpumask ORed with second cpumask == third cpumask, otherwise false.

that's it, that's the answer. no cap. 💅

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
