ttm_pool_syn...ze_shrinkers(9)

💅 ttm_pool_synchronize_shrinkers — the Kernel API Manual era 🎀

okay so bestie, you're reading the page for ttm_pool_synchronize_shrinkers(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a short one but it matters, so let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ttm_pool_synchronize_shrinkers — the vibe is "wait for all running shrinkers to complete", no cap 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ttm_pool_synchronize_shrinkers (void );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• void — no arguments. literally none. she takes nothing, she gives everything 💅

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea 🍓 — this one is useful to guarantee that all shrinker invocations have seen an update, before freeing memory, similar to rcu.

that's it. that's the whole flex. you call her, she makes sure every shrinker out there has caught up to your update before you go freeing memory, so nobody's out here reading stale info and causing chaos 😭 it's giving "responsible group-chat admin making sure everyone saw the announcement before the plans change" energy, fr fr 👑
