STRUCT NILFS_CSTAGE(9)

🦋 struct nilfs_cstage(9) 🦋

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 — this page is all about struct nilfs_cstage, and it's literally the context of collection stage. no cap.

💖 NAME 💖

struct nilfs_cstage — Context of collection stage.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the whole struct, exactly as it's giving:

       struct nilfs_cstage {
           int scnt;
           unsigned int            flags;
           struct nilfs_inode_info *dirty_file_ptr;
           struct nilfs_inode_info *gc_inode_ptr;
        };

🎀 Members 🎀

• scnt — the stage count, bestie. You must access it via the wrappers: nilfs_sc_cstage_inc, nilfs_sc_cstage_set, and nilfs_sc_cstage_get. no direct touching, periodt.
• flags — state flags. that's it, that's the vibe check 🫶
• dirty_file_ptr — pointer on dirty_files list, or inode of a target file. iykyk.
• gc_inode_ptr — pointer on the list of gc-inodes.
