STRUCT CONSOLE_FLUSH_TYPE(9)

💅 NAME

struct console_flush_type — bestie, this is the whole page for Define available console flush methods, straight from the Kernel API Manual ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS

       struct console_flush_type {
           bool nbcon_atomic;
           bool nbcon_offload;
           bool legacy_direct;
           bool legacy_offload;
        };

🫶 Members

• nbcon_atomic — flushes directly, using the nbcon_atomic callback. right there, no middleman 💅
• nbcon_offload — offloads the flush to the printer thread. she's handling it 🫶
• legacy_direct — calls the legacy loop in this context.
• legacy_offload — offloads the legacy loop into IRQ or the legacy thread.

🌸 Description

okay so important lil note, bestie: the legacy loop also flushes the nbcon consoles. don't forget that part 👑
