✨ sunrpc_nl_unix_gid_set_reqs_doit(9) ✨

okay bestie, quick vibe check first — this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? she's a little niche but she's iconic. let's get into it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

sunrpc_nl_unix_gid_set_reqs_doit — the girl who responds to unix_gid requests 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int sunrpc_nl_unix_gid_set_reqs_doit (struct sk_buff *skb , struct
       genl_info *info );

like, that's the whole signature. she's neat, she's tidy, she takes exactly two things. periodt ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• skb — the reply buffer 💌 this is where the response energy lives.
• info — the netlink metadata plus the command arguments 🔥 basically the whole backstory and the receipts in one struct.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea ☕ — this function parses one or more unix_gid cache responses coming in from userspace, and then updates the unix_gid cache accordingly. that's it, that's the job, and she does it well 👑

ngl it's giving "middle management but make it kernel" and we respect it.

returns 0 on success, or a negative errno if things went sideways 😭 no cap, that's the whole contract.
