smb2_current_req_len(9)

💅 smb2_current_req_len(9) 💅

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual and this is the page for smb2_current_req_len(9). It's short, it's useful, and it's literally about handing back the current compound request element size. No cap. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

smb2_current_req_len — return the current compound request element size

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

unsigned int smb2_current_req_len (struct ksmbd_work *work , struct
smb2_hdr *hdr );

Two args in, an unsigned int out. Slay. 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• work — request work item. That's the work item this call is dealing with, periodt.
• hdr — current SMB2 header. Yes, that header right there. 👑

⭐ RETURN ⭐

It returns an unsigned int: the current request element length, measured from the SMB2 header. That's the whole vibe check. 💖
