pids_uncharge(9)

💅 NAME 💅

pids_uncharge — hierarchically uncharge the pid count, bestie ✨

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's about giving pids back up the hierarchy. that's the whole vibe. no cap 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void pids_uncharge (struct pids_cgroup *pids , int num );

it returns void, meaning it gives you literally nothing back 😭 which honestly? iconic. it just does the thing and leaves.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pids — the pid cgroup state 💖 this is the cgroup you're handing the pids back to, iykyk
• num — the number of pids to uncharge 🦋 literally just how many you're giving back, that's it

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

• the kernel file ./kernel/cgroup/pids.c — that's where the actual sauce lives, go read it 🔥
• pids_cancel(9)
• pids_charge(9)
• pids_try_charge(9)

like genuinely, the whole little friend group of pid-charging functions is right there. pids_charge takes, pids_try_charge tries, pids_cancel cancels, and pids_uncharge — our main character 👑 — gives it back. periodt 💅

ngl this one is tiny, but it's doing important work in ./kernel/cgroup/pids.c. don't sleep on it 🙈

and that's the whole page, bestie — signed off with love from ./kernel/cgroup, dated October 2026, pids_uncharge(9) forever 🌈💜🍓
