STRUCT IDLE_INJECT_THREAD(9)

🦋 struct idle_inject_thread(9) 🦋

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ we're looking at struct idle_inject_thread today and honestly? it's giving "tiny but iconic." it's literally just the task on/off switch structure — that's the whole vibe. small struct, big main character energy 💅

✨ NAME ✨

struct idle_inject_thread — task on/off switch structure 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct idle_inject_thread {
    struct task_struct *tsk;
    int should_run;
 };

that's it. that's the struct. two fields and a dream 🫶

💖 Members 💖

• tsk — the task injecting the idle cycles 👑 like, this is the actual task doing the work, no cap
• should_run — whether or not to run the task (for the smpboot kthread API) ⭐ so it's basically the yes/no vibe check for running the task

ngl, should_run is such a relatable name. should i run? should i not? the smpboot kthread API decides 💀
