ttm_bo_lru_cursor_next(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is ttm_bo_lru_cursor_next(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it is literally the “keep the LRU walk going” function 💅. It continues iterating a manager's LRU lists to find and lock buffer object. no cap, that’s the whole vibe: keep looking, find the BO, lock it. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct ttm_buffer_object * ttm_bo_lru_cursor_next (struct
       ttm_bo_lru_cursor *curs );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• curs — the cursor, bestie. It’s the one initialized using ttm_bo_lru_cursor_init and ttm_bo_lru_cursor_first. That’s the origin story. 🦋

🔥 RETURN 🔥

A pointer to a locked and reference-counted buffer object, or NULL if none could be found and looping should be terminated. So if you get NULL, the loop is done, periodt. 😭
