ubifs_wbuf_sync_nolock(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay bestie, welcome to ubifs_wbuf_sync_nolock(9) from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the manual name is literally in the title, we're doing this right 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ubifs_wbuf_sync_nolock — synchronize write-buffer. That's the whole assignment, and it ate. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ubifs_wbuf_sync_nolock (struct ubifs_wbuf *wbuf );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • wbuf — write-buffer to synchronize. that's the one, bestie 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So this function synchronizes write-buffer buf and returns zero in case of success or a negative error code in case of failure. slay behavior, honestly ✨

Note, although write-buffers are of c->max_write_size, this function does not necessarily write all c->max_write_size bytes to the flash. not me doing less work on purpose 👑 Instead, if the write-buffer is only partially filled with data, only the used part of the write-buffer (aligned on c->min_io_size boundary) is synchronized. This way we waste less space. eco-friendly queen 🌱💅
