vdo_start_resuming(9)

💅 vdo_start_resuming(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to vdo_start_resuming(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this is the little function that's like "hey, can we resume rn? if the vibe check passes, let's GO" ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

vdo_start_resuming — initiate a resume operation if the current state permits it. that's it, that's the whole pitch 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool vdo_start_resuming (struct admin_state *state , const struct
admin_state_code *operation , struct vdo_completion *waiter ,
vdo_admin_initiator_fn initiator );

literally the whole signature, no cap — copy it exactly or the compiler will absolutely come for you 😭

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• state — the current admin state. the main character of this whole thing, fr fr 👑
• operation — the type of resume to start. like, which flavor of resume are we doing 🍓
• waiter — the completion to notify when the resume is complete; may be NULL. yes bestie, NULL is allowed, it's giving low-maintenance 🙈
• initiator — the vdo_admin_initiator_fn to call if the operation may begin; may be NULL. also optional, also unbothered 💅

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

returns true if the resume was initiated 🎉 — and if not, the waiter will be notified instead. so like, either way somebody's getting a message, don't worry 🫶
