STRUCT DEBUG_OBJ(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is the struct debug_obj(9) manual page from the Kernel API Manual 💖 and it's literally the representation of a tracked object. no cap. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

       struct debug_obj {
           struct hlist_node               node;
           enum debug_obj_state            state;
           unsigned int                    astate;
           union {
             void *object;
             struct hlist_node       *batch_last;
           };
           const struct debug_obj_descr *descr;
        };

🦋 Members 🦋

okay so here's the cast of this struct, each one doing its little iconic job:

• node — the hlist node that links the object into the tracker list. it's giving linked-list glue 🔗
• state — the tracked object state. vibe check for where it's at ✨
• astate — the current active state. literally the active-state moment 💅
• {unnamed_union} — anonymous. no name, just anonymous union energy 🙈
• object — pointer to the real object. the main character, fr fr 👑
• batch_last — pointer to the last hlist node in a batch. last-but-not-least behavior 🎀
• descr — pointer to an object type specific debug description structure. the description bestie 🫶
