svc_wake_up(9)

💖 svc_wake_up(9) 💖

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie — this is the svc_wake_up(9) page and it's lowkey a little baddie of a function 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

svc_wake_up — wake up a service thread for non-transport work 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void svc_wake_up (struct svc_serv *serv );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• serv — the RPC service, like, the whole struct svc_serv situation 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so picture this: some svc_serv's are gonna have occasional work to do, right? and the way that they still gotta do it even when a xprt is not waiting to be serviced. that's literally what this function is for 🌸

it's the "kick" ✨ — it kicks a task in one of those services so that it can wake up and do that work. main character energy fr fr.

and note 👑: we only bother with pool 0, because we don't need to wake up more than one thread for this purpose. one thread is enough, no cap. efficiency slay.

ngl this is the "hey bestie wake up, there's stuff to do" of kernel functions 💀
