💅 nfsd_file_put_local — the kernel API manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so real talk, this is nfsd_file_put_local(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and she is lowkey iconic. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, let's get into it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

nfsd_file_put_local — put nfsd_file reference and arm nfsd_net_put in caller 💖

like, she drops a reference and leaves a little gift for whoever called her. multitasking queen behavior, honestly 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct net * nfsd_file_put_local (struct nfsd_file __rcu **pnf );

no cap, that's the whole vibe. struct net * comes back out, pnf goes in. 💫

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • pnf — the nfsd_file of which to put the reference. bestie, this is the one you're letting go of 🦋

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

the way this function works is genuinely so clean, bestie:

  1. first, she saves the associated net so she can return it to the caller — literally holding onto it for you 🫶
  2. then, she puts the reference of the nfsd_file.

that's it. that's the whole function. save the net, drop the ref. two steps, zero drama, main character energy from start to finish 😭✨

think of it like: she's not just saying bye to the nfsd_file, she's also handing you the keys to the net on her way out. iconic. periodt. 🔥

and that's a wrap, bestie!! 🌈 this little page lives in ./fs/nfsd, she's dated October 2026, and she answers to the name nfsd_file_put_local(9) — say it back 💅💖 mwah, go touch some filecache code ✨
