raw_atomic64..._add_release(9)

🫶 raw_atomic64..._add_release(9) — Kernel API Manual

Bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for raw_atomic64_fetch_add_release 💅✨ (the header shows it as raw_atomic64..._add_release(9), iykyk).

🌸 NAME

raw_atomic64_fetch_add_release — atomic add with release ordering, periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS

s64 raw_atomic64_fetch_add_release (s64 i , atomic64_t *v );

🎀 ARGUMENTS

• i — the s64 value to add. literally the amount going in 🍓
• v — pointer to atomic64_t. this is the atomic bestie getting updated 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION

Atomically updates v to (v + i) with release ordering. no cap, it's atomic ✨

Safe to use in noinstr code; prefer atomic64_fetch_add_release elsewhere. okay so like, use this raw one for noinstr, otherwise the non-raw one is the move 🫶.

💖 RETURN

The original value of v. yes bestie, it gives you the old value back — main character energy 👑
