💅 handle_flush_error(9) — the Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to handle_flush_error(9) from the Kernel API Manual. this page is literally about handling an error flushing the lower layer, and it is not here to waste your time 🎀

✨ NAME

handle_flush_error — handle an error flushing the lower layer. periodt. that's the whole vibe of the name 💖

it returns void, so it's giving “do the thing, hand me no value” energy 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS

• completion — the flush vio. that's the arg, bestie 🫶
