lockd_nl_server_set_doit(9)

okay bestie, buckle up — you're reading lockd_nl_server_set_doit(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's lowkey the netlink hook that sets the lockd server parameters. no cap, it's giving kernel plumbing with main character energy. 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

lockd_nl_server_set_doit — set the lockd server parameters via netlink

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int lockd_nl_server_set_doit (struct sk_buff *skb , struct genl_info
       *info );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• skb — reply buffer. literally the buffer carrying the reply back, bestie 🫶
• info — netlink metadata and command arguments. all the netlink tea plus the args for the command 🍓

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so this one updates the per-net values. when you're updating the values in the init_net namespace, you also update the "legacy" global values. iykyk — don't leave the legacy globals hanging. 👑

it returns 0 on success or a negative errno. that's it, that's the vibe check. ✨
