NVME_SET_FEATURES_RESV_MASK2(2)

✨ nvme_set_features_resv_mask2 ✨

okay bestie, listen up πŸ’– this one lives in the libnvme API manual, section 2, and it's called nvme_set_features_resv_mask2 β€” literally the Set reservation notification mask feature command, no cap. if ur messing with NVMe reservations and need to tell the controller which reservation-notification events u actually wanna hear about, this is ur girl πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int nvme_set_features_resv_mask2 (int fd , __u32 nsid , __u32 mask ,
       bool save , __u32 *result );

that's the whole vibe check β€” five args, one int coming back at ya 🫢


πŸ’… ARGUMENTS πŸ’…

  • fd β€” File descriptor of nvme device ✨ ur lil handle to the drive itself, the main character of this whole operation.
  • nsid β€” Namespace ID 🌈 which namespace we're talking to, bc a controller can have a whole squad of them.
  • mask β€” Reservation Notification Mask Field πŸŽ€ this is the actual payload, the bits that say which reservation notifications u want turned on. it's giving "choose ur notifications" energy.
  • save β€” Save value across power states πŸ’Ύ set it and it sticks even when the power dips β€” iconic persistence behavior.
  • result β€” The command completion result from CQE dword0 πŸ‘‘ pointer to where the completion queue entry's dword0 lands. yep, the controller answers back and u catch it here.

πŸ”₯ RETURN πŸ”₯

so here's what u get back, fr fr:

  • the nvme command status if a response was received (peep enum nvme_status_field for the full tea β˜•), or
  • -1 with errno set otherwise 😭
lowkey important: if u get that -1, do NOT just move on β€” check errno, bestie, that's where the actual story is πŸ’€

no SEE ALSO section, no extra lore, just the facts and the features. sometimes a girl is short and sweet πŸ’œ

that's it, that's the page β€” go set some features and slay β­πŸ¦‹
