🌸 NAME 🌸

nlmsvc_proc_granted — GRANTED: Blocked lock has been granted 🔓✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

__be32 nlmsvc_proc_granted (struct svc_rqst *rqstp );

---

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• rqstp — the RPC transaction context, aka the whole vibe of the call, no cap 💫

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

• rpc_success — RPC executed successfully, and we love that for it 👑 like literally, it worked, slay.

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so first things first, the RPC synopsis, bestie — here it is in all its glory:

nlm_res NLM_GRANTED(nlm_testargs) = 5;

now onto the permissible procedure status codes 👇 these are the only moods this procedure is allowed to be in:

• LCK_GRANTED — the granted lock was accepted 💖 iconic, no notes, everybody's happy.
• LCK_DENIED — the procedure failed 😭 and like, possibly because of internal resource constraints. not necessarily anyone's fault, it just wasn't its moment.
• LCK_DENIED_GRACE_PERIOD — okay so the client host recently restarted 🙈 and its NLM is out here re-establishing existing locks, so it's literally not yet ready to accept callbacks. it's in its healing era, give it a sec 🧚
