svc_rdma_recv_ctxt_get(9)

💅 svc_rdma_recv_ctxt_get 💅

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's all about svc_rdma_recv_ctxt_get — yes that's a mouthful, we love her anyway 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

svc_rdma_recv_ctxt_get — Allocate a recv_ctxt 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct svc_rdma_recv_ctxt * svc_rdma_recv_ctxt_get (struct svcxprt_rdma
*rdma );

so real, that's the whole signature. struct svc_rdma_recv_ctxt * on the way out, and it takes one pointer in. no cap 💅

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• rdma — the controlling svcxprt_rdma. that's the one you hand over so she knows which transport she's working with 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Returns a recv_ctxt or (rarely) NULL if none are available.

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. usually you get your recv_ctxt back and everything is iconic ✨ — but rarely? you get NULL because none are available, and you gotta handle that gracefully. lowkey the most important sentence on this whole page, ngl 😭
