🌸 v9fs_get_fsgid_for_create(9) — the gid-for-new-objects helper 🌸

Okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie, and it’s all about a tiny helper that gets the gid for a brand-new file system object. Very “supporting character with main character energy” of it. 💅

v9fs_get_fsgid_for_create — helper function to get the gid for a new object 🎀
