v9fs_fid_lookup(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for v9fs_fid_lookup(9) 💅 this one is literally “lookup for a fid, try to walk if not found” — iconic little summary, no cap ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct p9_fid * v9fs_fid_lookup (struct dentry *dentry );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • dentry — the dentry you're looking for a fid in 🫶 that's the whole argument, slay.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the vibe is: look for a fid in the specified dentry for the current user. 🔍✨

If no fid is found, try to create one walking from a fid from the parent dentry (if it has one), or the root dentry. You love to see the fallback chain. 💅

If the user haven't accessed the fs yet, attach now and walk from the root. Periodt. 🌈
