smb2_get_ea(9)

💅✨ smb2_get_ea(9) — the manual page, bestie ✨💅

okay so you're looking at the smb2_get_ea(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 2am. no cap, this is the handler for the smb2 get extended attribute command. periodt. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

smb2_get_ea — handler for smb2 get extended attribute command. that's literally it, that's the vibe. 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int smb2_get_ea (struct ksmbd_work *work , struct ksmbd_file *fp ,
struct smb2_query_info_req *req , struct smb2_query_info_rsp *rsp , void
*rsp_org );

look at that signature, iconic. keep it exactly like that, no edits bestie. ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• work — smb work containing query info command buffer. it's giving "the main character context" tbh. 👑
• fp — ksmbd_file pointer. a lil pointer to the file, slay. 🐟
• req — get extended attribute request. the actual ask, lowkey important. 💅
• rsp — response buffer pointer. where the answer goes, periodt. 📬
• rsp_org — base response buffer pointer in case of chained response. for when things are chained, iykyk. 🔗

💀 RETURN 💀

Returns 0 on success, otherwise error. so if it's 0, we celebrate 🎉; if not, it's an error and we cry 😭. simple as that.

and that's the page! footer tea: this came from ./fs/smb/server, dated October 2026, and it's smb2_get_ea(9) — so yeah, that's the manual, bestie. now go read some kernel code, mwah 💋✨
