queue_loop(9)

💅 queue_loop — a Kernel API Manual moment (that's queue_loop(9), bestie)

okay so real talk, this one is a helper macro and it's lowkey iconic for how much it does with so little. sit down, hydrate, let's go 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

queue_loop — loop through the queues within a specific range (HELPER MACRO).

like, that's the whole vibe. it loops. through queues. in a range. periodt 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

queue_loop (__entry , __start , __end );

no cap, that's it. three little arguments and she's serving ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• __entry — the pointer where the current queue entry is gonna get stored. that's her little home. where she lives while the loop is doing its thing 🏠
• __start — the start queue pointer. where the party begins 🎉
• __end — the end queue pointer. where the party stops. the boundary. the "okay bestie wrap it up" line 🛑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does it actually do?? this macro will loop through all the queues between __start and __end. that's the whole bit, and honestly? she ate 💅

every queue in that range gets visited, one by one, and __entry is holding the current one while it happens. it's giving "main character energy" for each queue it touches, one at a time, in order, no skipping, no cutting the line 🙈

lowkey important: this is a helper macro, so it's macro magic, not a regular function call. don't come for her about it 😭
