cvs_recv(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… cvs_recv(9) β€” like, the delayed work handler that keeps checking if your command is done yet

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for cvs_recv(9) β€” yes that's the manual name, we're being fancy today ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

cvs_recv β€” the delayed work handler that polls for command completion (it's giving "are we there yet" but make it kernel πŸš—πŸ’¨)


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void cvs_recv (struct work_struct *work );

that's it. that's the whole signature. no cap 🫢


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • work β€” the embedded delayed_work member. literally the work struct that's tucked inside, it's not a standalone thing, it's embedded, iykyk πŸ’…

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so here's the vibe: cvs_recv re-reads the device state πŸ”. if device_busy is still set, it just re-schedules itself β€” like, "not yet, bestie, try again later" πŸ”. otherwise? it stores the state into wq_resp and completes the command. slay, done, periodt πŸ’–
