nfs_pageio_init(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💫 NAME 💫

nfs_pageio_init — bestie, this is the function that initialises a page io descriptor, no cap ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void nfs_pageio_init (struct nfs_pageio_descriptor *desc , struct inode
*inode , const struct nfs_pageio_ops *pg_ops , const struct
nfs_pgio_completion_ops *compl_ops , const struct nfs_rw_ops *rw_ops ,
size_t bsize , int io_flags );

okay so it returns void (she gives nothing back, she just sets things up 💅) and she takes seven whole arguments, which is giving "main character with a full entourage" energy. Let's meet the cast 🎀

🔥 ARGUMENTS 🔥

  • desc — pointer to descriptor. this is the pageio descriptor you're setting up, the whole reason we're here 🌸
  • inode — pointer to inode. the inode in question, front and center.
  • pg_ops — pointer to pageio operations. the pageio ops, hand-delivered by pointer ✨
  • compl_ops — pointer to pageio completion operations. completion ops, also by pointer, we stay consistent in this house 🫶
  • rw_ops — pointer to nfs read/write operations. the nfs read/write ops, say it with me: by pointer.
  • bsize — io block size. it's a size_t, it's the block size for io, iconic.
  • io_flags — extra parameters for the io function. little bonus flags, the sprinkles on top 🍓

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

it's giving "let me introduce you to my entire friend group" — Kernel file ./fs/nfs/pagelist.c, plus literally this whole squad:

ngl bestie, that's a lot of cross-references — go read them, they're all (9) kernel API pages and they all live around ./fs/nfs. iykyk 💀

that's the whole vibe check ✨ this page came from ./fs/nfs, dated October 2026, in the Kernel API Manual — mwah, no notes, periodt 💖🦋🎀
