raw_atomic_set(9)

✨ NAME ✨

Okay bestie, welcome to the raw_atomic_set(9) page from the Kernel API Manual 💖 This one is raw_atomic_set — literally atomic set with relaxed ordering. Periodt. 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void raw_atomic_set (atomic_t *v , int i );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• v — pointer to atomic_t 🎀
• i — int value to assign ✨

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Atomically sets v to i with relaxed ordering. That's it, that's the assignment moment. 💅

It's safe to use in noinstr code; prefer atomic_set elsewhere. Lowkey important: this page is saying raw_atomic_set is the one for that noinstr situation, and atomic_set is the elsewhere girlie. 🫶

🌈 RETURN 🌈

Nothing. Not a single return value. The void is voiding. 😌
