📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ksmbd_vfs_fsync — like, the Kernel API Manual, but make it cute 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the ksmbd_vfs_fsync(9) page — yes that's the manual name, it's giving very "kernel docs but make it a group chat" energy, and honestly? we're obsessed. this is the vfs helper for smb fsync, fr fr. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

ksmbd_vfs_fsync — the vfs helper for smb fsync 🌸

like, that's the whole vibe. it's the little helper that handles the smb fsync situation. no cap.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ksmbd_vfs_fsync (struct ksmbd_work *work , u64 fid , u64 p_id );

look at her. three args, returns an int, absolutely iconic 👑

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

  • work — the work. yes, that's genuinely all the detail we get, and honestly? she's the main character. work is work. periodt. 💀
  • fid — the file id of the open file 🔥 that's your actual file, the one that's open, the one we care about.
  • p_id — the persistent file id ⭐ the long-term, "still here after the reboot" kind of id. iykyk.

🫶 RETURN 🫶

0 on success — slay, everything worked 💖

anything else = error 😭 so like, always check it, bestie. lowkey important.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay so there's a whole friend group here and we're not leaving anybody out:

Kernel file ./fs/smb/server/vfs.c — that's where the whole squad lives 🏠

no gatekeeping here, they all ate 💅✨

heads up bestie: the manpage literally gives us work as work for the first argument, so don't come for me — I'm just the messenger 🫶

and that's the page!! 🎀 this little beauty lives over in ./fs/smb/server, dated October 2026, and it's the ksmbd_vfs_fsync(9) page from the Kernel API Manual. mwah, go sync something, ily, bye 💜🦋
