trace_block_dirty_buffer(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for trace_block_dirty_buffer(9) — it's from the Kernel API Manual, and it's here to explain one tiny thing: how a buffer gets marked dirty. 💅

• trace_block_dirty_buffer — mark a buffer dirty. That's the whole name, no cap. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void trace_block_dirty_buffer (struct buffer_head *bh );

Yes, that's the exact signature: it returns void (nothing comes back, bestie), and it takes a struct buffer_head * named bh. ✨

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• bh — the buffer_head being dirtied 💅. That's the one argument, and she's doing all the work here.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Called from mark_buffer_dirty. That's it. That's the whole description, and honestly she ate. 🔥
