enter_forked_lock(9)

💅 enter_forked_lock(9) — the enter_forked_lock(9) glow-up 🦋

okay so bestie, buckle up ✨ this page lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's literally about handing a data_vio a brand-new hash lock like it's a fresh fit. no cap. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

enter_forked_lock — bind the data_vio to a new hash lock 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void enter_forked_lock (struct vdo_waiter *waiter , void *context );

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• waiter — the data_vio's waiter link, iykyk 🧚
• context — the new hash lock, aka the main character 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this one implements waiter_callback_fn — very demure, very mindful 🙈. what it does is: it binds the data_vio that was waiting to a new hash lock, and then it waits on that lock. that's the whole vibe. lowkey iconic, highkey essential 💅
