💅 media_request_manual_complete(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

Okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and the star of the show is media_request_manual_complete — yes the header up top gets all truncate-y and looks like media_reque...ual_complete(9), that's just the page header being dramatic, the real one is spelled out below. Let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

media_request_manual_complete — mark the request as completed, that's literally the whole gig 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void media_request_manual_complete (struct media_request *req );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • req — the request. That's it, that's the arg 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So here's the tea 🍓: this function completes a request that was previously marked for manual completion — and "previously" means by an earlier call to media_request_mark_manual_completion. Like, that's the setup, and this is the payoff. When it runs, the request's manual_completion field gets reset to false. Clean slate, no cap ✨

Now, the important bit — all objects contained in the request must have been completed previously. Every single one. It is an error to call this function otherwise 😭

And if that error does happen? The function will WARN, and the object completion gets delayed until num_incomplete_objects is 0. So like, not the end of the world, but it's giving 💀 so please complete your objects first, bestie, iykyk.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Over in the kernel file ./include/media/media-request.h, you'll find the whole friend group 👯‍♀️:

Like, the entire roster, no gatekeeping 🔥

💜 That's the whole page, bestie. Now go complete those objects before you call this, mwah 😘

Sign-off time 🧚: this little masterpiece comes from ./include/media, dated October 2026, and it lives in the same media_reque...ual_complete(9) header/footer sandwich it started in. Slay. Periodt. 💅✨
