💅 smack_d_instantiate(9) — Kernel API Manual 💅

Okay so bestie, welcome to the smack_d_instantiate(9) page from the Kernel API Manual. This is the one that makes sure the blob is correct on an inode, and yes, we're keeping every single detail. No cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

smack_d_instantiate — Make sure the blob is correct on an inode. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here's the function signature, exact and untouched, because we do not play with code:

void smack_d_instantiate (struct dentry *opt_dentry , struct inode
       *inode );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • opt_dentry — the dentry where inode will be attached. 💫
  • inode — the object. That's literally it, bestie.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This function sets the inode's security blob if it hasn't been done already. That's the whole vibe: make sure the blob is correct on an inode, and don't redo it if it's already handled. 🫶

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

The kernel file is ./security/smack/smack_lsm.c, and here's every single reference, no skips, no crumbs left behind:

And that's the whole page, bestie! 💖 This one lives in ./security/smack, dated October 2026, and it's the smack_d_instantiate(9) manual page. Periodt. 🎀
