raw_atomic6...turn_release(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 NAME 🌸

raw_atomic64_inc_return_release — atomic increment with release ordering ✨

(okay so real talk, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and the header up top gets all truncate-y and shows it as raw_atomic6...turn_release(9) — the manual name is raw_atomic6...turn_release(9) too, don't @ me, that's just how it renders 💅)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

s64 raw_atomic64_inc_return_release (atomic64_t *v );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • v — pointer to atomic64_t 🫶 that's it. that's the whole argument list. we love a low-maintenance icon.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Atomically updates v to (v + 1) with release ordering. 🔥

It's safe to use in noinstr code — that's literally its whole personality. Everywhere else, though? prefer atomic64_inc_return_release instead. no cap, that's the guidance. 🙈

🦋 RETURN 🦋

The updated value of v. ✨ (so like, the value after the increment, not before — don't get it twisted 👑)

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

Kernel file ./include/linux/atomic/atomic-arch-fallback.h — go read it, it's giving source-of-truth energy 📖

okay that's the whole crew, literally all of them, no gatekeeping 💜 and that's the page!! tysm for reading, go increment something atomically and be iconic about it 🧚✨

little sign-off from the source: this beauty lives at ./include/linux/atomic and it's dated October 2026 — remember the era, bestie 🎀🌈
