vringh_complete_multi_user(9)
π vringh_complete_multi_user β the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition π
Okay so picture this: we're deep in the vringh lore (that's the Kernel API Manual, iykyk) and this little icon right here is the one that tells the kernel "bestie, we are SO done with a whole bunch of descriptors at once." Not one. Many. Main character behavior fr fr. π
β¨ NAME β¨
vringh_complete_multi_user β we've finished with many descriptors. π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
int vringh_complete_multi_user (struct vringh *vrh , const struct
vring_used_elem used[] , unsigned num_used );
πΈ ARGUMENTS πΈ
vrhβ the vring. the whole vibe. the main character of this situation π«usedβ the head, length pairs. literally the receipts of what got used π§Ύnum_usedβ the number of used elements. how many receipts we're holding up, no cap π’
π DESCRIPTION π
So here's the tea: you should check vringh_need_notify_user after one or more calls to this function. Not before, not "eh maybe later" β after. That's the whole bit. π«Ά
no cap, just remember the follow-up vringh_need_notify_user check or the vibe check fails π
