✨ nlm_svc_decode_nlm_testres(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — this is the page for nlm_svc_decode_nlm_testres(9) and honestly it's a little baddie of a helper function. Let's get into it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

nlm_svc_decode_nlm_testres — literally just decodes a nlm_testres argument. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool nlm_svc_decode_nlm_testres (struct svc_rqst *rqstp , struct
xdr_stream *xdr );

yes, the line break in the middle there is real, that's not me being chaotic, that's how it's written 💀

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • rqstp — the RPC transaction context. it's giving "who am I, where am I, what's my RPC call" energy 🫶
  • xdr — the source XDR data stream. this is where the raw bytes come from, bestie, treat it with respect ✨

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

the return values, and I cannot stress this enough, are the entire plot:

  • true — the procedure arguments were decoded successfully. slay!! the decode ate and left no crumbs 🔥
  • false — the decode failed. 😭 not the failure arc. anyway, handle it.

like, that's it. that's the function. no cap. no secret extra behaviour, no hidden flags, nothing cute hiding in a corner — it decodes, it tells you whether it worked, and it moves on with main character energy 💜

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

so there's a whole friend group here, and they all live in the kernel file ./fs/lockd/nlm3xdr_gen.c — go say hi to the siblings:

the decoders and the encoders, all in one big happy fs/lockd family tree 🧚 iykyk 🌸

aaand that's the page! this one shipped out of ./fs/lockd back in October 2026, and yes it's still out here living its truth as nlm_svc_decode_nlm_testres(9). bye bestie, go decode something responsibly ⭐💖
