smk_fill_super(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 smk_fill_super 💖

okay so real quick, bestie — this one lives in the Kernel API Manual (the 9 in the parens is your little hint that it's a kernel-internals thing, iykyk ✨). It's called smk_fill_super, and it's literally the function that fills up the smackfs superblock. That's the whole vibe. Let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

smk_fill_super — fills in the smackfs superblock 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int smk_fill_super (struct super_block *sb , struct fs_context *fc );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

  • sb — the empty superblock. yes bestie, it shows up empty and our girl here is the one who stocks it 🛒
  • fc — unused. not used. not touched. sitting there looking pretty, honestly 💀

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Fills in the well known entries for the smack filesystem. that's it, that's the job — it's giving "interior decorator but for a superblock" 🧚✨

Returns 0 on success, an error code on failure. no cap, that's the whole contract 🫶

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Kernel file ./security/smack/smackfs.c, plus this absolutely iconic lineup of siblings — honestly the family reunion is huge, so buckle up:

💀 lowkey a whole phonebook of functions, but every single one of them matters, so we're listing all of them. no skipping, no summarizing, that's the rule 🫶

anyway bestie that's the whole page 💖 this lil slice of the Kernel API Manual came from ./security/smack and it's dated October 2026 — stay hydrated, read your man pages, and slay ✨🎀🦋🌸💅
