🌸 NAME 🌸

generic_parse_monolithic — parse key[=val][,key[=val]]* mount data 🫶

like, it takes your messy little blob of mount options and makes it make sense, no cap 💅

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

int generic_parse_monolithic (struct fs_context *fc , void *data );

she's short, she's iconic, she returns an int 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• fc — the superblock configuration you're filling in 🧚 this is the main character, the one getting all the data
• data — the data to parse, fr fr 🌈 the raw stuff that's gotta get decoded

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically: parse a blob of data that's in key[=val][,key[=val]]* form 💖 that's the whole vibe — keys, optional values, commas between them, slay.

you can call this from the ->monolithic_mount_data fs_context operation 👑 that's literally where she belongs.

returns 0 on success 🎉 or the error returned by the ->parse_option fs_context operation on failure 😭 (not me getting an error back, tragic but useful).
