💅 nfs40_discov...ver_trunking(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is the page for nfs40_discov...ver_trunking(9) and honestly it's giving "short but important" energy. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

nfs40_discover_server_trunking — Detect server IP address trunking (mv0) 🦋

like. it finds out whether the server is trunking its IP addresses. no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int nfs40_discover_server_trunking (struct nfs_client *clp , struct
       nfs_client **result , const struct cred *cred );

three args, one int coming back at you. that's the whole vibe check 💫

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• clp — the nfs_client under test 👀 like, this is the one we're putting under the microscope.
• result — OUT param: the found nfs_client, or clp itself. so it's either "here's what we found" or "it's the same one, bestie" 🫶
• cred — the credential to use for the trunking test. gotta have your ID for the vibe check, literally 🔑

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so this function returns zero, a negative errno, or a negative NFS4ERR status. that's three whole possibilities, main character energy fr fr.

if zero is returned, an nfs_client pointer is planted in result. planted! like a little flag on the moon 🌈⭐

💀 heads up: a negative return means something went sideways — either a plain errno situation or the fancier NFS4ERR status. don't mix them up, iykyk.

---

🎀 NOTE 🎀

the returned client may not yet be marked ready. 😭 so like… it exists, it's in result, but it's still getting ready in the group chat. don't come for it yet. give it a sec 💅
