nilfs_fileattr_set(9)

💅 nilfs_fileattr_set(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for nilfs_fileattr_set — it's a little function, it's got main character energy, and it's about to change some file attributes. no cap.

---

✨ NAME ✨

nilfs_fileattr_set — change miscellaneous file attributes 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int nilfs_fileattr_set (struct mnt_idmap *idmap , struct dentry *dentry
, struct file_kattr *fa );

that's the whole vibe, literally. three params, one int back. 🫶

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

• idmap — the idmap of the mount, iykyk 💖
• dentry — the object to change — this is the thing you're actually messing with 🎀
• fa — fileattr pointer, the little go-between holding your attrs ✨

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 when it slays (success), or a negative error code when it does not slay (failure). 😭 that's it, that's the contract.

no warnings or bug notes in this one bestie — it's a clean little function. read the args, call it, check the return. that's the whole plot. 🧚‍♀️

okay and finally, the sign-off: this page lives in ./fs/nilfs2, it's dated October 2026, and it's filed under the nilfs_fileattr_set(9) name. congrats to her, an icon, a legend, a kernel API manual entry ⭐🌸 bye bestie, go set some fileattrs 💅
