make_kqid_uid(9)

💅 make_kqid_uid — like, the kqid-from-kuid pipeline ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for make_kqid_uid 🎀 — yes, that's the whole name, we're literally building a quota identifier out of a kuid and honestly? iconic behaviour. 👑

🌸 NAME 🌸

make_kqid_uid — makes a kqid from a kuid, that's it, that's the vibe 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct kqid make_kqid_uid (kuid_t uid );

like, you hand it a uid and it hands you back a struct kqid. simple as. no cap. 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• uid — the kuid you're pulling the quota identifier out of. that's the whole input, she's lowkey doing all the work 💅

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

the girlies in the same header, fr fr — all of these live in ./include/linux/quota.h:

• make_kqid(9)
• make_kqid_invalid(9)
• make_kqid_gid(9)
• make_kqid_projid(9)
• qid_has_mapping(9)

go read make_kqid(9) if you want the main character of the family, and make_kqid_gid(9) / make_kqid_projid(9) are her sisters — same energy, different input type 🌈

k that's the page!! mwah 💋 this lil entry ships out of ./include/linux and it's dated October 2026 — so like, future girlie behaviour only. slay, bye! 🦋✨🍓
