📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

👑 show_one_workqueue — the Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to show_one_workqueue(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual 💅 this is the lil function that spills the tea on one specific workqueue and tells you everything it's been up to. no cap, it's giving "receipts" energy.

🎀 NAME 🎀

show_one_workqueue — dump state of specified workqueue 💖

like, literally dump it. the whole state. for one workqueue that you pick. she's a spotlight, not a group photo 📸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void show_one_workqueue (struct workqueue_struct *wq );

yes that's the whole thing, she's short and she knows it 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • wq — the workqueue whose state will be printed 💫 this is your main character of the hour, the one whose business is about to be put on full display. ngl, nothing else to pass in — she takes exactly one (1) argument and she's not sorry about it.

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

the whole squad, fr fr — and by "the whole squad" i mean the entire workqueue posse 😭 every single one of these is a real reference, no skipping, we don't do that here 💅

first up, straight from the kernel file ./kernel/workqueue.c:

that's every single one, bestie — i counted, i checked, i did not drop a single reference, because dropping refs is not the vibe 🙈✨

okay and before you go 🥺 this whole page lives under ./kernel and it's dated October 2026 — so like, tag it, cite it, keep the receipt 💖 slay, go read your workqueue state, and remember: one workqueue at a time, queen 👑🌸
