DRBD STATE MACROS(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the DRBD State macros page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, that (9) means kernel API section, iykyk 💅

💖 DRBD State macros 💖

these macros are literally here to express state changes in easily readable form. no cap.

the NS macros expand to a mask and a value that you can bit ored onto the current state as soon as the spinlock (req_lock) was taken. periodt.

the _NS macros are used for state functions that get called with the spinlock. these macros expand directly to the new state value.

besides the basic forms NS and _NS, additional _?NS[23] are defined to express state changes that affect more than one aspect of the state. iconic.

e.g. NS2(conn, C_CONNECTED, peer, R_SECONDARY) means that the network connection was established and that the peer is in secondary role. slay.
