✨ finish_cleanup(9) ✨

okay so picture this: it's a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's called finish_cleanup β€” yes bestie, the whole thing is about what happens when a data_vio is done done cleaning up. like, cleanup is finished, cleanup of the cleanup, we're wrapping the wrap-up. πŸŽ€

πŸ’– ARGUMENTS πŸ’–

  • data_vio β€” the data_vio. that's the argument, that's the whole argument, no cap. one (1) data_vio, and it's this one.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea 🍡 β€” if this data_vio is part of a multi-block discard, it starts on the next block. and if it's not? it returns it to the pool. that's the vibe check, that's the whole branch, we love a two-path function that knows exactly what it's about. 🌈
