okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for request_key_net_rcu — yes, it's literally about requesting a key for a net namespace under RCU conditions, and no, we are not skipping the RCU part 😌✨

✨ NAME ✨

request_key_net_rcu — request a key for a net namespace under RCU conditions. that's the whole vibe, no cap 🫶

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

request_key_net_rcu (type , description , net );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• type — type of key. like, what kind of key are we even asking for, bestie? 🔑
• description — the searchable description of the key. this is the text the lookup can search for, periodt. 🔎
• net — the network namespace that is the key's domain of operation. it's giving "this key lives here" energy. 🌐

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so it's literally the same situation as request_key_rcu, with one important twist: only keys that operate the specified network namespace are used. that's it, that's the tea. 🍵✨
