✨ gnet_stats_copy_basic ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for gnet_stats_copy_basic(9) — yes it's a mouthful, yes it's iconic, let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnet_stats_copy_basic — copy basic statistics into statistic TLV 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int gnet_stats_copy_basic (struct gnet_dump *d , const struct
gnet_stats_basic_sync __percpu *cpu , const struct gnet_stats_basic_sync
*b , bool running );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• d — the dumping handle, your main character of the moment ✨
• cpu — copy statistic per cpu, okay so it's giving per-CPU energy 🧚
• b — basic statistics, the actual data bestie 🍓
• running — true if b represents a running qdisc, thus b's internal values might change during basic reads. Only used if cpu is NULL 👑

⭐ CONTEXT ⭐

task; must not be run from IRQ or BH contexts 😭 like literally do not, iykyk

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Appends the basic statistics to the top level TLV created by gnet_stats_start_copy. no cap, that's the whole vibe 🫶

Returns 0 on success or -1 with the statistic lock released if the room in the socket buffer was not sufficient. so if the socket buffer is out here being too small, you get -1 and the lock gets released — noted 💀
