nfs_inode_set_delegation(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 nfs_inode_set_delegation(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual one 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to nfs_inode_set_delegation(9) — yes that's the whole tl;dr section, it's literally at the top of the Kernel API Manual, we love a functional heading ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

nfs_inode_set_delegation — sets up a delegation on an inode. that's it, that's the vibe check 🦋

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

int nfs_inode_set_delegation (struct inode *inode , const struct cred
*cred , fmode_t type , const nfs4_stateid *stateid , unsigned long
pagemod_limit , u32 deleg_type );

look at her, six args deep, still serving main character energy 👑

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • inode — the inode to which the delegation applies. like, the actual subject of the whole delegation situation 🫶
  • cred — the cred to use for subsequent delegation processing. bestie's credentials, respectfully 🔥
  • type — delegation type, in all its fmode_t glory ✨
  • stateid — the delegation stateid. iconic identifier behavior 💅
  • pagemod_limit — the write delegation "space_limit". yes with the quotes, don't @ me, that's verbatim 🍓
  • deleg_type — the raw delegation type. raw as in unprocessed, not raw as in ngl-that's-a-lot 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does she do? Returns zero on success, or a negative errno value. that's the entire description, she's mysterious, she's brief, she ate and left zero crumbs 💀

lowkey the whole personality is "zero on success, negative errno otherwise" and honestly? relatable 😭
