STRUCT NLMSVC_BINDING(9)

💅 struct nlmsvc_binding 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — this is the page for struct nlmsvc_binding, and it's literally the lockd -> nfsd callback table. It's giving “tiny handoff table with main character energy,” and we're gonna read it together. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

struct nlmsvc_binding — lockd -> nfsd callback table. periodt.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

       struct nlmsvc_binding {
           struct module   *owner;
           int (*fopen)(struct svc_rqst *rqstp, struct nfs_fh *f, struct file
       **filp, int flags);
           void (*fclose)(struct file *filp);
        };

🫶 Members 🫶

• owner — module that provides this binding. like, the module supplying the whole binding vibe. 💖
• fopen — open a file by NFS file handle on behalf of an NLM request. yes bestie, that's the callback doing the opening. 🦋
• fclose — close a file that was previously opened via fopen.

⚠️ okay so this part is not optional: implementations MUST be semantically equivalent to fput. no cap. 🔥
