svc_create_pooled(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay so this is the svc_create_pooled(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally about creating an RPC service with pooled threads. Slay. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct svc_serv * svc_create_pooled (struct svc_program *prog , unsigned
       int nprogs , struct svc_stat *stats , unsigned int bufsize , int
       (*threadfn)(void *data) );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• prog — the array of RPC programs that your new service is gonna handle, bestie.
• nprogs — how many programs are actually in that array. Count carefully, queen.
• stats — the stats struct, if desired. Optional-ish vibe, but keep it in mind. 🫶
• bufsize — the maximum message size for prog. Big messages need room, periodt.
• threadfn — a function to service RPC requests for prog. The main character worker function, fr fr.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

It returns an instantiated struct svc_serv object — or NULL. That's the whole tea. No cap. ✨

Like, you call it, and you either get your shiny instantiated struct svc_serv object or you get NULL. Iconic either way, ngl. 💀
