🌸 ubifs_bulk_read(9) 🌸

okay bestie, this is a Kernel API Manual page and it's literally about ubifs_bulk_read(9). vibe check: it figures out whether to bulk-read, and if the answer is yes, it does the thing. no cap. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

• ubifs_bulk_read — determine whether to bulk-read and, if so, do it. 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int ubifs_bulk_read (struct folio *folio );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• folio — the folio from which to start bulk-read. that's the starting point, bestie. ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so some flash media are capable of reading sequentially at faster rates. the UBIFS bulk-read facility is designed to take advantage of that, by reading in one go consecutive data nodes that are also located consecutively in the same LEB. it's giving “why read one thing when you can read a whole cute little run in one go?” 😭💅

🌈 RETURN 🌈

1 if a bulk-read is done and 0 otherwise. slay. 👑
