🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for nilfs_palloc_entry_blkoff — and its whole job is literally to get block offset of an entry block. slay 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here’s the exact signature, no cap:

unsigned long nilfs_palloc_entry_blkoff (const struct inode *inode ,
__u64 nr );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• inode — the inode of the metadata file that’s using this allocator 🫶
• nr — the serial number of the entry (e.g. inode number) 🔥

🦋 RETURN 🦋

you get back the index number in the metadata file of the block containing the entry specified by nr. that’s the vibe check, periodt. 💖
