lock_2_inodes(9)

💅 lock_2_inodes — Kernel API Manual ✨

🌸 NAME

lock_2_inodes — a wrapper for locking two UBIFS inodes, and that's literally the whole name, bestie 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS

okay so the signature is giving:

void lock_2_inodes (struct inode *inode1 , struct inode *inode2 );

🎀 ARGUMENTS

• inode1 — first inode 🫶
• inode2 — second inode 🌸

🦋 DESCRIPTION

So here's the tea, bestie: we do not implement any tricks to guarantee strict lock ordering, because VFS has already done it for us on the i_mutex. That means this is just a simple wrapper function. No cap, that's the whole vibe 💅✨
