task_avdcache_search(9)

💅 task_avdcache_search — the Kernel API Manual girlies are gonna eat this UP ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for task_avdcache_search(9), and no cap this one is short but she is mighty 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

task_avdcache_search — literally just: search the task's AVD cache 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int task_avdcache_search (struct task_security_struct *tsec , struct
inode_security_struct *isec , struct avdc_entry **avdc );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• tsec — the task's security state, aka the vibe holder for the task in question 💜
• isec — the inode we're searching for in the cache, the main character we're looking up 👑
• avdc — the matching avd cache entry that gets returned to the caller, iykyk 🔥

💀 DESCRIPTION 💀

So what it does is: search tsec for an AVD cache entry that matches isec, and hand it right back to the caller via avdc 🎁

And the returns? Slay:

• 0 if a match is found — periodt, we ate 💅
• negative values otherwise — not the vibe, but that's what it returns 😭
