💅 smb2_open(9) — like, the whole vibe

Ok bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for smb2_open(9). Pull up a chair, grab a boba, and let's get into it — this one's short but she's important. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

smb2_open — the handler for an smb file open request. That's it, that's the girl. She handles the open. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int smb2_open (struct ksmbd_work *work );

That's the whole signature, no cap. She takes one pointer and hands you back an int. Iconic.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • work — a struct ksmbd_work *, aka the smb work containing the request buffer. Basically the little briefcase 🧳 that shows up carrying the request. Everything she needs to do her thing lives in there.

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 on success — slay, she ate, everything worked 🎉
  • otherwise error — literally anything that isn't 0 means something went sideways, so pls check it 🙈
ngl bestie, 0 is the happy path and every other number is a vibe check fail. Always check the return value. Always. 🔥

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

Sooooo many friends. She does not work alone, and the source of truth here is the kernel file ./fs/smb/server/smb2pdu.c — that's where this whole squad lives. Go say hi to all of them:
