print_worker_info(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for print_worker_info — yes, she's a kernel API function, and she's here to spill the worker tea 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

print_worker_info — print out worker information and description. literally that's her whole job 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void print_worker_info (const char *log_lvl , struct task_struct *task
);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • log_lvl — the log level to use when printing.
  • task — target task.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the vibe: if task is a worker and currently executing a work item, this function prints out the name of the workqueue being serviced and the worker description set with set_worker_desc by the currently executing work item. iconic behavior, no cap ✨

The good news is that this function can be safely called on any task as long as the task_struct itself is accessible. the plot twist? while it's safe, this function isn't synchronized and may print out mixups or garbages of limited length. so like, she's safe but she's not synchronized, and the output can get a little messy — limited-length chaos, if you will 😭

bestie warning: isn't synchronized and mixups or garbages of limited length are the actual facts here — do not expect a perfect little clean printout every time 🙈

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

Kernel file ./kernel/workqueue.c is lowkey the home base, and the SEE ALSO crew is a whole friend group. here's the full roll call, every single one:

that's the whole page, bestie — this one lives in the ./kernel source crew, dated October 2026, footer vibes print_worker_info(9), and she ate 💅✨
