mark_inode_clean(9)

💅 mark_inode_clean(9) 💅

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie — it's mark_inode_clean(9) and it's lowkey one of the shortest little helpers in all of UBIFS, but she matters. let me put you on 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

mark_inode_clean — mark UBIFS inode as clean.

like, that's genuinely her whole job and she does it flawlessly 💁‍♀️

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void mark_inode_clean (struct ubifs_info *c , struct ubifs_inode *ui );

returns nothing (void), takes two things, zero drama. periodt.

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• c — the UBIFS file-system description object. she's the big-picture context babe, you gotta hand her over 💖
• ui — the actual UBIFS inode you're marking as clean. this is the main character of the whole function, ngl 🌟

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — this helper function marks the UBIFS inode ui as clean by clearing the ui->dirty flag and releasing its budget. that's it. that's the whole vibe. ✨

⚠️ but bestie, listen — VFS may still treat the inode as dirty and try to write it back. it's giving stubborn ex energy, honestly. but it's fine, because 'ubifs_write_inode' would just do nothing. literally does not care. unbothered. 🧚
