notify_summary_waiters(9)

okay bestie, welcome to notify_summary_waiters(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this is the page where we wake up the whole queue, and honestly? iconic. 🔔💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

notify_summary_waiters — wake all the waiters in a given queue. yes, all of them. the whole group chat. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void notify_summary_waiters (struct block_allocator *allocator , struct
       vdo_wait_queue *queue );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• allocator — the block allocator summary which owns the queue. it's giving parent energy, fr. 🫶
• queue — the queue to notify. that's the one getting the wake-up call. 📣

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

these linked faves all live in the kernel file ./drivers/md/dm-vdo/slab-depot.c, and yes, the list is long. we respect the archive. 😭📚
