*data , size_t data_size , u32 seq );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• daemon — the eCryptfs daemon object 👑 your main character here
• data — the bytes that make up a struct ecryptfs_message 📦 literally the payload
• data_size — sizeof(struct ecryptfs_message) + the length of the data, so like the struct plus the extra bits 🧮
• seq — the sequence number for the miscdev response packet 🔢 iykyk
