✨ ubifs_clear_orphans(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual πŸ’… this one's a tiny lil function with main character energy β€” it's giving "clean slate" and honestly? iconic.


πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

ubifs_clear_orphans β€” erase all LEBs used for orphans. like, all of them. gone. bye. 🫢


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ubifs_clear_orphans (struct ubifs_info *c );

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • c β€” the UBIFS file-system description object. that's your whole vibe right there, the fs info struct, no cap πŸ’–

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

okay so picture this: recovery is not required. like, we don't need it, we're fine, we're thriving ✨ in that case, the orphans from the previous session? not needed. literally not needed, they're so last season πŸ™ˆ

so what does this function do? it goes and locates the LEBs that were used to record those orphans, and then it un-maps them. that's it. that's the whole thing. un-mapped, unbothered, moisturized πŸ˜ŒπŸ’…


πŸ”₯ SEE ALSO πŸ”₯

the kernel file ./fs/ubifs/orphan.c is where all the lore lives, and it's also home to the whole orphan squad β€” go say hi to all of them πŸ‘‘:
