okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes, the kernel has lore too 💅) and it's all about ksmbd_vfs_set_fadvise — literally the little function that takes your SMB IO caching options and converts them into linux options. bestie it's a translator, it's giving bilingual icon 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

ksmbd_vfs_set_fadvise — convert smb IO caching options to linux options

no cap, that's the whole job description. smb options in, linux options out. she's a middlewoman and she's slaying at it ✨

note the return type: void. she gives you nothing back, and honestly? iconic. she does the work and dips 🙈

👑 ARGUMENTS 👑

  • filp — file pointer for IO. this is the file she's working her magic on 🫶
