nfsd_nl_unlo...esystem_doit(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 nfsd_nl_unlock_filesystem_doit — kernel API manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about nfsd_nl_unlock_filesystem_doit. yes the name is a whole mouthful, no i will not be shortening it, it's iconic in its own chaotic way ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

nfsd_nl_unlock_filesystem_doit — revoke NFS state under a filesystem path

like, it goes in and says "bestie, that filesystem path? your NFS state? it's over, hand it back" 💅 periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int nfsd_nl_unlock_filesystem_doit (struct sk_buff *skb , struct
       genl_info *info );

that's the whole signature, copy it exactly, do not freestyle it, i'm begging 🙈

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • skb — the reply buffer. this is where the answer goes when it's done doing its thing. think of it as the group chat where the response gets dropped 📬
  • info — the netlink metadata and the command arguments. yes, both. it's giving "carrying everything in one bag" main character energy 👑

💖 RETURN 💖

0 on success, or a negative errno. that's it. that's the whole vibe check. zero means slay, negative means something went sideways 😭

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

the kernel file it lives in is ./fs/nfsd/nfsctl.c and honestly there is a whole friend group of related functions, so let me introduce you 🫶

that's eighteen links, i counted, i did not skip a single one, we don't do that here 💀

ngl the fact that the header itself is truncated as nfsd_nl_unlo...esystem_doit(9) is lowkey sending me 😭 but that's what it says, so that's what we're keeping.

and that's the page, bestie! 🧚 it's from ./fs/nfsd, dated October 2026, and it's filed under nfsd_nl_unlo...esystem_doit(9). mwah, go revoke some state 💜🎀
