vdo_finish_operation(9)

okay so welcome to the vdo_finish_operation(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 💖 this one is short but important, no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

vdo_finish_operation — finish the current operation, periodt 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool vdo_finish_operation (struct admin_state *state , int result );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• state — the current admin state, like the main character of this whole situation 👑
• result — the result of the operation, aka the tea on how it went 🍓

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It will notify the operation waiter if there is one. lowkey polite of it tbh 🫶

This method should be used for operations started with vdo_start_operation. For operations which were started with vdo_start_draining, use vdo_finish_draining instead. that's the rule, bestie — don't mix up the draining girlies with the operation girlies 💀

🌈 RETURN 🌈

true if there was an operation to finish. that's the vibe check ✅
