nfs_complete_unlink(9)

💖 nfs_complete_unlink(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — we're doing sillydelete completion and we're gonna be so normal about it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

nfs_complete_unlink — gets the sillydelete completion started, no cap ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void nfs_complete_unlink (struct dentry *dentry , struct inode *inode );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dentry — the dentry to delete. this is the main character for finding the sillydelete 💫
• inode — the inode. that's literally the whole description, bestie 🙈

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so real talk: since we're most likely to be called by dentry_iput, we only use dentry to find the sillydelete. we then copy the name into the qstr. that's the whole little routine, and honestly? iconic behavior 👑
