okay so bestie, welcome to the ksmbd_update_fstate(9) page — it's giving kernel API manual realness, and honestly it's a whole little moment. 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

ksmbd_update_fstate — update an fp state under the file-table lock 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

the whole vibe is literally this:

int ksmbd_update_fstate (struct ksmbd_file_table *ft , struct ksmbd_file
       *fp , unsigned int state );

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• ft — file table that publishes fp's volatile id 🦋
• fp — file pointer to update ✨
• state — new state 🌸

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• 0 on success. periodt. 🎉
• The FP_NEW -> FP_INITED transition is special: -ENOENT if teardown already unpublished fp by advancing the state or clearing the volatile id. 😭
• Other state updates preserve the historical fire-and-forget behavior. 💀
