🦋 raw_atomic_long_set(9) — Kernel API Manual 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

raw_atomic_long_set — atomic set with relaxed ordering 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void raw_atomic_long_set (atomic_long_t *v , long i );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • v — pointer to atomic_long_t. The thing getting set, bestie 🫶
  • i — long value to assign. The new main character ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so raw_atomic_long_set atomically sets v to i with relaxed ordering. That's the whole vibe: atomic, relaxed, no extra ordering drama 💅

It is safe to use in noinstr code; prefer atomic_long_set elsewhere.

💀 Quick vibe check: noinstr code can use this, but outside of that the preference is atomic_long_set — noted, no cap.

👑 RETURN 👑

Nothing. Literally Nothing. 🫶

Bestie, this gem lives under ./include/linux/atomic in the source tree, dated October 2026 — and that's the raw_atomic_long_set(9) moment. Mwah 💋
