✨ NAME ✨

wake_up_glock — literally the function whose whole job is waking up the waiters chillin' on a glock 💤➡️👀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

that's it. that's the whole signature. short, sweet, void, no cap 🎀

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• gl — the glock. yeah. just "the glock." that's the whole description, and honestly? iconic of the original author to leave it at that 💅 this is the struct gfs2_glock * you're waking the waiters on, case closed, periodt.
