luo_flb_file_finish(9)
π luo_flb_file_finish β a Kernel API Manual moment β¨
okay bestie, so this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's called luo_flb_file_finish(9), and honestly it's giving "last one out, turn off the lights" energy π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
void luo_flb_file_finish (struct liveupdate_file_handler *fh );
like, that's the whole signature, no notes π
πΈ ARGUMENTS πΈ
fhβ the file handler for the finished file. that's it, that's the one thing you hand over π«Ά
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so picture this: this function iterates through all the FLBs associated with the given file handler, and it does it in reverse order of registration (last in, first out, iconic behavior honestly). for each FLB it decrements the incoming reference count. and then β the moment we've all been waiting for β if that count becomes 0, it triggers the FLB's .finish callback for final cleanup in the new kernel π₯
so yeah, it's the "we're done here, wrap it up" notification pipeline. the FLBs literally get told a dependent file has been finished, and the ones hitting zero get their lil send-off callback β¨
π¦ CONTEXT π¦
it's called from luo_file_finish for each file being finished. so it's not out here doing main character energy on its own β it's part of the group chat π
