init_statfs(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the init_statfs(9) page in the Kernel API Manual — yes, we’re doing kernel stuff today, and this one is here to look up and initialize master and local (per node) statfs inodes. slay ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int init_statfs (struct gfs2_sbd *sdp );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• sdp — the GFS2 superblock. that’s the whole argument, bestie 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so the vibe is: this should be called after the jindex is initialized in init_journal and before gfs2_journal_recovery is called. why? because we need to be able to write to these inodes during recovery. no cap, timing is everything here ⭐

🔥 RETURN 🔥

errno — that’s it, that’s the return 💅
