wait_for_commit(9)

💅 wait_for_commit(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for wait_for_commit(9) and honestly? it's giving "short but iconic." let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

wait_for_commit — wait for commit. literally that's the whole vibe. it waits. for a commit. periodt 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int wait_for_commit (struct ubifs_info *c );

like yes, that's the whole signature, no cap. one argument, one int coming back at you 🌸

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• c — the UBIFS file-system description object 💖 that's the one and only thing you hand over, and it's carrying the whole file-system tea.

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the deal: this function sleeps until the commit operation is no longer running. that's it. that's the function. it just naps 😴✨ until the commit stuff wraps up, then it comes back. main character energy honestly — it doesn't do the work, it just waits very confidently for the work to be done 🫶

ngl "sleeps until the commit operation is no longer running" is the entire spec, so don't go reading extra behaviour into it, bestie 🙈
