kset_find_obj(9)

💅 kset_find_obj — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so before we even start, yes this is from the Kernel API Manual, and yes it's about digging through a kset to find one specific object, and honestly? it's giving "searching for your friend in a crowd" energy 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

kset_find_obj — literally go find an object in a kset, bestie 🔍

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

struct kobject * kset_find_obj (struct kset *kset , const char *name );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• kset — the kset we're looking in. like, this is the friend group we're searching through 💅
• name — the object's name. the vibe check we're matching against ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the whole situation. first you lock the kset via kset->subsys 🔒 — gotta be safe, no cap.

then you iterate over kset->list, looking for a matching kobject. like, one by one, bestie, checking each one 👀

and if a matching object is found? you take a reference and return the object. that's it, that's the whole thing. iconic behavior honestly 💖

lowkey important: that reference you take means you're gonna have to put it back later. don't just vibe and forget, that's a leak fr fr 😭
