raw_atomic_l...turn_acquire(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, where today’s main character is a tiny little atomic increment with acquire ordering. no cap, she’s niche but iconic 💅✨

💅 NAME

raw_atomic_long_inc_return_acquire — atomic increment with acquire ordering 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS

long raw_atomic_long_inc_return_acquire (atomic_long_t *v );

🫶 ARGUMENTS

• v — pointer to atomic_long_t 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION

okay so here’s the vibe: this function atomically updates v to (v + 1) with acquire ordering ⭐. like, the increment and the ordering are the whole moment, and it’s giving “tiny but mighty” energy.

fr fr, it’s safe to use in noinstr code; but bestie, prefer atomic_long_inc_return_acquire elsewhere 💀✨

🌸 RETURN

it hands you back the updated value of v — that’s the whole return vibe 💖
