ubifs_commit_required(9)

✨ ubifs_commit_required(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — today's main character is ubifs_commit_required, and no cap, she's a tiny little function with one very specific job 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ubifs_commit_required — sets the commit state to "required", literally that's it, that's the whole vibe 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ubifs_commit_required (struct ubifs_info *c );

like… she takes one pointer and returns nothing. lowkey minimal. iconic. ✨

---

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

• c — the UBIFS file-system description object 🫶 (yes that's the whole argument list, she travels light)

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function gets called when a commit is required but it just cannot be done from the calling function. so instead of doing the whole thing right there, she just flags it ✨ like dropping a little "hey someone needs to handle this" in the group chat and moving on. no cap, that's the entire behaviour. 💅

fr fr though, nothing else happens here — it's a flag, not a commit. don't go expecting her to do the actual work 😭
