ENUM CHECK_STATES(9)

🌸 enum check_states(9) — the Kernel API Manual, but make it cute 🌸

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the star of the show is literally enum check_states(9). buckle up 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

enum check_states</p> — handles syncing / repairing a stripe 💅

and here's the little blurb squad that comes with it, exactly as written:

• @check_state_idle — check operations are quiesced
• @check_state_run — check operation is running
• @check_state_result — set outside lock when check result is valid
• @check_state_compute_run — check failed and we are repairing
• @check_state_compute_result — set outside lock when compute result is valid

heads up bestie 🙈 the blurbs up there spell it check_state_result but the enum itself spells it check_state_check_result — i'm not fixing anything, i'm just reading what's on the page, mwah 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the whole enum, copied character for character because we do not mess with code in this house 👑

enum check_states {
    check_state_idle ,
    check_state_run ,
    check_state_run_q ,
    check_state_run_pq ,
    check_state_check_result ,
    check_state_compute_run ,
    check_state_compute_result

};

yes there are those little spaces before the commas. yes i left them. no i will not be taking questions ✨

💅 CONSTANTS 💅

seven icons, and the manpage has literally nothing to say about them. not me reading -- undescribed -- seven times in a row 😭 so here's the full roster, zero notes attached:

• check_state_idle — -- undescribed -- 🫶
• check_state_run — -- undescribed -- 🫶
• check_state_run_q — -- undescribed -- 🫶
• check_state_run_pq — -- undescribed -- 🫶
• check_state_check_result — -- undescribed -- 🫶
• check_state_compute_run — -- undescribed -- 🫶
• check_state_compute_result — -- undescribed -- 🫶

that's it. that's the whole constants section. the void stared back 💀
