STRUCT P9_REQ_T(9)

💖 NAME 💖

struct p9_req_t — request slots. This page is from the Kernel API Manual, and yes bestie, we're getting you comfy with this whole request-slot situation 💅✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so here's the struct in all its glory — copied exactly, no edits, no cap:

       struct p9_req_t {
           int status;
           int t_err;
           refcount_t refcount;
           wait_queue_head_t wq;
           struct p9_fcall tc;
           struct p9_fcall rc;
           struct list_head req_list;
        };

🌸 Members 🌸

• status — the status of this request slot, iykyk.
• t_err — transport error. if the transport is having a moment, this is where that lives.
• wq — the wait queue (wait_queue_head_t) for the client to block on for this request. literally its whole job is "wait here, bestie" 💤
• tc — the request fcall structure.
• rc — the response fcall structure.
• req_list — the link for higher-level objects to chain requests. iconic chain-building behavior 🔗

Also: the struct has refcount as a refcount_t, but the original Members rundown doesn't give it a separate description. So I'm just flagging that it's there — not inventing extra lore, periodt 💀
