jffs2_add_physical_node_ref(9)

okay bestie, you're looking at the jffs2_add_physical_node_ref(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and she is lowkey iconic 💅✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

jffs2_add_physical_node_ref — add a physical node reference to the list 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct jffs2_raw_node_ref * jffs2_add_physical_node_ref (struct
       jffs2_sb_info *c , uint32_t ofs , uint32_t len , struct
       jffs2_inode_cache *ic );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• c — superblock info 🧚
• ofs — offset in the block ⭐
• len — length of this physical node 📏
• ic — inode cache pointer 🔥

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so listen: this function should only be used to report nodes for which space has been allocated by jffs2_reserve_space — like, that's the whole assignment, no freelancing 💀

bestie, it must be called with the alloc_sem held. no ifs, no buts, no "oops I forgot" energy 🙈

🌈 RETURN 🌈

on success you get a pointer to the new node 🎉 on error you get an -errno code 😭
