raw_atomic6...turn_acquire(9)

💖 raw_atomic64_add_return_acquire(9) 💖

okay bestie, this one’s straight from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s lowkey iconic in the kernel-atomics department. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

raw_atomic64_add_return_acquire — atomic add with acquire ordering. No cap. 🦋

🌀 SYNOPSIS 🌀

s64 raw_atomic64_add_return_acquire (s64 i , atomic64_t *v );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• i — the s64 value to add. 💖
• v — pointer to an atomic64_t. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

It atomically updates v to (v + i) with acquire ordering. Like, genuinely atomic, bestie — the (v + i) part is not out here doing a little race-condition side quest. ✨

It’s safe to use in noinstr code. Everywhere else, prefer atomic64_add_return_acquire — that’s the main-character choice, periodt. 👑

⭐ RETURN ⭐

The updated value of v. 💫
