iowait_get_ib_work(9)
π iowait_get_ib_work(9) β like, the Kernel API Manual, bestie β¨
Okay so real talk, this one lives in the kernel API manual and it's honestly such a tiny little icon. The name is iowait_get_ib_work and its whole entire job is returning the iowait_work for the ib SE. That's it. That's the vibe. Short queen behavior, no notes π
β¨ NAME β¨
iowait_get_ib_work β returns ya girl the iowait_work for ib SE π¦
Lowkey the most straightforward name-to-functionality ratio in the whole kernel, and we stan a transparent icon.
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
struct iowait_work * iowait_get_ib_work (struct iowait *w );
Bestie, look at it. It takes one (1) pointer and hands you back a struct iowait_work *. Clean, simple, no drama, main character energy fr fr π
π ARGUMENTS π
wβ theiowaitstruct, like, the actual one. You give it theiowaitstruct and it does its little thing. That's the whole ask π«Ά
ngl if you're passing something that isn't an iowait struct, that's between you and your compiler and honestly not our problem π
π¦ SEE ALSO π¦
So there's this kernel file, right, and it's literally the mothership for all of these: ./drivers/infiniband/hw/hfi1/iowait.h
And the whole iowait friend group is here, all iconic, all referenced:

Like, that's the entire group chat and every single one of them is linked here. Go read them, bestie, iykyk π
And that's the page, bestie! Big slay to ./drivers/infiniband/hw/hfi1 for hosting this whole situation back in October 2026 β the manual's giving vintage-future and we're obsessed β¨π«Άπ
