💖 fscache_end_cache_access(9) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally all about one little function that lets go of a cache when you're done with it. no cap, that's the whole vibe. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

fscache_end_cache_access — unpin a cache at the end of an access. that's it, that's the function. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void fscache_end_cache_access (struct fscache_cache *cache , enum
fscache_access_trace why );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• cache — the cache-level cookie. yes, a cookie. in the kernel. iconic. 🍪
• why — an indication of the circumstances of the access, for tracing. purely a vibe report, iykyk.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what it does: unpin a cache after we've accessed it. that's the whole job, and it ate. 💅

the why indicator is merely provided for tracing purposes — like, it's not out here changing behaviour or anything, it's just there so the tracing can see what the circumstances of the access were. main character of the trace log, honestly. 🫶
