netfs_inode_init(9)

✨ netfs_inode_init(9) ✨

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's all about netfs_inode_init — the little function that sets up your netfslib inode context 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

netfs_inode_init — literally just initialises a netfslib inode context, that's the whole vibe 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void netfs_inode_init (struct netfs_inode *ctx , const struct
netfs_request_ops *ops , bool use_zero_point );

no cap, that's the exact signature, character for character 👑

---

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• ctx — the netfs inode you're initialising, like the main character of this whole operation ✨
• ops — the netfs's operations list. yes, the ops, the whole roster 🫶
• use_zero_point — pass True if you want the zero_point read optimisation. that's it, that's the switch 🔥

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So what does it actually do? It initialises the netfs library context struct 💜 and here's the important bit: this struct is expected to follow on directly from the VFS inode struct — like, right after it, adjacent, besties-in-memory style. the way that layout matters, iykyk 😭
