PROBE::NFS.AOP.R(3stap)

πŸ’– PROBE::NFS.AOP.R πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the Network File Storage Tapsets section of the SystemTap Tapset Reference β€” this one's called probe::nfs.aop.readpage and it's giving very niche, very specific, very slay πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

probe::nfs.aop.readpage β€” the NFS client is synchronously reading a page, no cap πŸ“–


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

probe nfs.aop.readpage {}

that's it. that's the whole thing. she's simple, she's elegant, she's a vibe πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ VALUES πŸŽ€

okay so when this probe fires, here's everything you get handed, and you're gonna want all of it:

  • file β€” the file argument. yeah. that's the whole description. she said what she said πŸ™ˆ
  • ino β€” the inode number. the ID card of the file, fr fr πŸͺͺ
  • i_size β€” file length in bytes πŸ“
  • size β€” how many pages are getting read in this execution. like, this specific run, not forever ✨
  • sb_flag β€” the super block flags 🚩 (not that kind of red flag, the filesystem kind)
  • page_index β€” the offset within the mapping. you can use it as a page identifier AND a position identifier in the page frame. dual purpose icon behavior πŸ‘‘
  • i_flag β€” file flags 🏴
  • dev β€” device identifier πŸ”Œ
  • rsize β€” read size, in bytes πŸ“¦
  • __page β€” the address of the page. the actual location. the main character's home address 🏠

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

so here's the tea: this probe reads the page over, and it only fires when a previous async read operation failed 😭

like β€” the async attempt didn't pull through, so now we're doing it the synchronous way. it's the backup plan probe. the "fine, I'll do it myself" energy. and honestly? iconic.
