gnet_stats_copy_rate_est(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie — this is the gnet_stats_copy_rate_est(9) page, and its whole thing is copying rate estimator statistics into a statistics TLV. iconic behavior, no cap ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int gnet_stats_copy_rate_est (struct gnet_dump *d , struct net_rate_estimator __rcu **rate_est );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• d — the dumping handle. that's the vibe.
• rate_est — the rate estimator. main character energy fr.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically this function appends the rate estimator statistics to the top level TLV created by gnet_stats_start_copy. she's adding to the pile, not starting a whole new one 💅

Returns 0 on success. but if there wasn't enough room in the socket buffer, it returns -1 and the statistic lock is released. yes, statistic lock released — that detail matters, don't skip it 😭
