TAPSET::RPC(3stap)

💫 TAPSET::RPC — the tapset::rpc page (3stap) 💫

okay bestie sit DOWN because we're talking about the systemtap rpc tapset, and it's giving "the entire Sun RPC lifecycle, fully instrumented" energy 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

tapset::rpc — the systemtap rpc tapset, aka your backstage pass to every RPC client, service and scheduler moment 🎀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically, this tapset is a whole little universe of probe points that follow an RPC call from "hi hello let me make a client" all the way to "ok bye, dropping this request" 🦋 there's three lil families in here, and yes we're meeting all of them, no skipping, periodt.

💖 The client side (sunrpc.clnt.*)

• sunrpc.clnt.create_client — Create an RPC client ✨ See probe::sunrpc.clnt.create_client(3stap) for details.
• sunrpc.clnt.clone_client — Clone an RPC client structure 👯 See probe::sunrpc.clnt.clone_client(3stap) for details.
• sunrpc.clnt.shutdown_client — Shutdown an RPC client 💀 See probe::sunrpc.clnt.shutdown_client(3stap) for details.
• sunrpc.clnt.bind_new_program — Bind a new RPC program to an existing client 🫶 See probe::sunrpc.clnt.bind_new_program(3stap) for details.
• sunrpc.clnt.call_sync — Make a synchronous RPC call ⏳ See probe::sunrpc.clnt.call_sync(3stap) for details.
• sunrpc.clnt.call_async — Make an asynchronous RPC call 🌈 See probe::sunrpc.clnt.call_async(3stap) for details.
• sunrpc.clnt.restart_call — Restart an asynchronous RPC call 🔁 See probe::sunrpc.clnt.restart_call(3stap) for details.

👑 The service side (sunrpc.svc.*)

• sunrpc.svc.register — Register an RPC service with the local portmapper 📇 See probe::sunrpc.svc.register(3stap) for details.
• sunrpc.svc.create — Create an RPC service 🌱 See probe::sunrpc.svc.create(3stap) for details.
• sunrpc.svc.destroy — Destroy an RPC service 💥 See probe::sunrpc.svc.destroy(3stap) for details.
• sunrpc.svc.process — Process an RPC request ⚙️ See probe::sunrpc.svc.process(3stap) for details.
• sunrpc.svc.authorise — An RPC request is to be authorised 🔐 See probe::sunrpc.svc.authorise(3stap) for details.
• sunrpc.svc.recv — Listen for the next RPC request on any socket 👂 See probe::sunrpc.svc.recv(3stap) for details.
• sunrpc.svc.send — Return reply to RPC client 📤 See probe::sunrpc.svc.send(3stap) for details.
• sunrpc.svc.drop — Drop RPC request 🗑️ See probe::sunrpc.svc.drop(3stap) for details.

🧚 The scheduler side (sunrpc.sched.*)

• sunrpc.sched.new_task — Create new task for the specified client 🐣 See probe::sunrpc.sched.new_task(3stap) for details.
• sunrpc.sched.release_task — Release all resources associated with a task 🕊️ See probe::sunrpc.sched.release_task(3stap) for details.
• sunrpc.sched.execute — Execute the RPC scheduler 🏃 See probe::sunrpc.sched.execute(3stap) for details.
• sunrpc.sched.delay — Delay an RPC task 😴 See probe::sunrpc.sched.delay(3stap) for details.

every single one of these is a probe point bestie — the descriptions here are the short version, and the full tea lives in each probe::…(3stap) page. go read them, i'm literally begging 🥺
