💅 nfs_unlock_and_release_request — Kernel API Manual

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie, and it's about exactly one little function: nfs_unlock_and_release_request. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it unlocks a request and releases the nfs_page, and honestly? iconic of it to do two things at once and name itself accordingly. no notes. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void nfs_unlock_and_release_request (struct nfs_page *req );

it returns void, so like… don't go looking for a return value, there isn't one, she doesn't do that 💅. it takes exactly one argument and it comes out swinging with it.

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• req — pointer to request 💖. that's it. that's the argument. you hand it a request pointer and it does its thing. fr fr, one arg, no drama, no extra params, no weird optional stuff. just req.
