💅 pipapo_get(9) — get matching element reference given key data

okay so bestie, welcome to pipapo_get, from the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a little function with main character energy, let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME

pipapo_get — get matching element reference given key data. yes that's literally the whole job. icon behavior 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS

struct nft_pipapo_elem * pipapo_get (const struct nft_pipapo_match *m ,
const u8 *data , u8 genmask , u64 tstamp );

look at her. four args, one return, zero drama 🦋

💖 ARGUMENTS

  • m — the storage containing the set elements. this is the closet we're rummaging in 🎀
  • data — key data to be matched against existing elements. the fit check, the vibe check, the whole thing ✨
  • genmask — if set, check that element is active in given genmask. lowkey a liveness check fr 🫶
  • tstamp — timestamp to check for expired elements. we're checking who's still valid and who's giving expired 👑💀

🦋 DESCRIPTION

okay so this is a dispatcher function — it either calls out the generic C implementation or, if it's available, the AVX2 one. so she's basically the group chat admin forwarding your message to whichever friend is best equipped to handle it 😌✨

🫶 important note bestie: this helper is only called from the control plane, with either the RCU read lock or the transaction mutex held. like, that's the dress code. don't show up any other way 💅

🌈 RETURN

pointer to struct nft_pipapo_elem on match, NULL otherwise. so like, you either get your element or you get nothing, and honestly? that's the whole dating scene 😭💀

that's the whole friend group right there, no cap 🫶🔥
