netfs_resize_file — note that a file got resized ✨

Hiii bestie! You're on the netfs_resize_file(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? It's giving “tiny function, important job” 🎀. The whole point: let the netfs lib know a file got resized.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void netfs_resize_file (struct netfs_inode *ictx , unsigned long long
       new_i_size , bool changed_on_server );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ictx — the netfs inode being resized, aka the main character here 👑
• new_i_size — the new file size, literally the number bestie 🍓
• changed_on_server — the change was applied to the server ✅

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

So the tea ☕: you call this to inform the netfs lib that a file got resized so that it can adjust its state. That’s it, that’s the whole job — but don’t sleep on it, because state adjustments matter, iykyk 💜.
