schedule_deferred_locked(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is the schedule_deferred_locked(9) page, and it's a tiny little baddie with one argument and one very important locked-rq prerequisite. ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

schedule_deferred_locked — schedule execution of deferred actions on an rq. that's the name, that's the vibe, no notes. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void schedule_deferred_locked (struct rq *rq );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • rq — target rq. yes, that's the whole argument list, and rq is carrying the whole scene. 👑

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so schedule_deferred_locked schedules execution of deferred actions on rq. It's equivalent to schedule_deferred, but it requires rq to be locked — that's the important locked-girl detail — and it can be more efficient. so if rq is already locked, this function is giving efficient behavior; if it isn't, then this is not your function, bestie. 💅
