gfs2_ri_update(9)

okay bestie, welcome to gfs2_ri_update(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this is the lil’ function whose whole thing is to pull in a new resource index from the disk. 💅✨

💖 NAME 💖

gfs2_ri_update — pull in a new resource index from the disk. no cap, that’s the vibe: grab that fresh resource index off the disk and bring it in. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int gfs2_ri_update (struct gfs2_inode *ip );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• ip — pointer to the rindex inode. literally the rindex inode pointer, bestie. 🎀

🎀 RETURN 🎀

• 0 on successful update, error code otherwise. so it’s giving success on 0, and an error code when it’s not. 💀✨
