💫 ring_buffer_nest_end(9) 💫

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a tiny little function page but she's lowkey important, so let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ring_buffer_nest_end — the "okay we're done being nested, you can trace again" moment 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ring_buffer_nest_end (struct trace_buffer *buffer );

literally that's it, that's the whole signature, no cap 🎀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • buffer — the ring buffer you're modifying, bestie. that's the one. the whole vibe. 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea ☕ — you must call this after ring_buffer_nest_start and after the ring_buffer_unlock_commit. like, it's not optional, it's not a "sure whatever" situation, it's a must fr fr 🙈

think of it as the closing bracket to the nesting era. start it, do your thing, unlock commit it, and then nest_end it. slay. periodt 💅

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

all the siblings and cousins of this function live in the kernel file ./kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c — go say hi to the whole family 🎀

and that's the whole page, icon behavior honestly 🌈

this masterpiece dropped from ./kernel/trace in October 2026 — mwah, kisses, go trace something nested and then end it like the main character you are 💋💜🍓
