💅 trace_io_uring_fail_link 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a lil tracepoint doc, short and sweet, but it's so useful iykyk 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

trace_io_uring_fail_link — literally the tracepoint that fires right before a linked request gets failed 💀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void trace_io_uring_fail_link (struct io_kiocb *req , struct io_kiocb
*link );

yes that's the whole signature, no cap 🎀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• req — the request whose links got cancelled 👑 like, the main character of the situation
• link — the cancelled link itself, the one that got the axe 🙈

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the way this works is it lets you track linked request cancellation — and not just "oop something got cancelled" vibes, but actually which request was the reason 🔥 that's the whole point fr fr. so when a linked request fails, you get the receipts: what got cancelled AND who caused it. iconic detective work honestly 🕵️‍♀️✨
