💅 reset_control_bulk_acquire(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes this is a real man page and yes it's about grabbing a whole pile of reset controls at once. slay.

✨ NAME ✨

reset_control_bulk_acquire — acquires reset controls for exclusive use 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int reset_control_bulk_acquire (int num_rstcs , struct
reset_control_bulk_data *rstcs );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• num_rstcs — the number of entries in the rstcs array. literally just how many you've got, bestie 🔢
• rstcs — an array of struct reset_control_bulk_data with reset controls set in it. the whole squad. the whole group chat. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: this function is used to explicitly acquire reset controls — the ones you requested earlier with reset_control_bulk_get_exclusive_release — for temporary exclusive use. that's it. that's the whole thing. you're calling dibs, but in kernel. 👑

fr fr, the word exclusive is doing a lot of work here, so don't sleep on it — these controls are yours and only yours while you hold them.
