gfs2_set_iop(9)

💅 gfs2_set_iop(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense

okay bestie, welcome to the gfs2_set_iop glow-up ✨ this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's shorter than your attention span, so we're literally gonna get through it together 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

gfs2_set_iop — sets inode operations. yeah. that's the whole pitch. it sets i_op, no cap 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void gfs2_set_iop (struct inode *inode );

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• inode — the inode in question, and the vibe check here is that its i_mode is already filled in correctly before you hand it over 🎀 like, that's the prerequisite, don't come to this function with a half-filled inode, it's giving unprepared 🧚

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea 🍓 the GFS2 lookup code fills in the vfs inode contents based on the info it gets from the directory entry inside gfs2_inode_lookup. that's the whole description. iconic brevity, honestly 👑
