🌟 _drbd_request_state(9) 🌟

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for _drbd_request_state(9) — it’s giving “state change with flags” energy and we’re gonna get through it together 💅✨

✨ NAME ✨

_drbd_request_state — Request a state change (with flags) 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum drbd_state_rv _drbd_request_state (struct drbd_device *device ,
union drbd_state mask , union drbd_state val , enum chg_state_flags f );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• device — the DRBD device, aka the main character of this little operation 👑
• mask — mask of state bits to change, periodt
• val — value of new state bits, slay
• f — flags

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So _drbd_request_state is the cousin of drbd_request_state, no cap. It’s useful with the CS_WAIT_COMPLETE flag, or when logging of failed state change requests is not desired. Literally that’s the vibe: same family, but handy in those specific situations 🫶
