xprt_rdma_s...nect_timeout(9)

💅 xprt_rdma_set_connect_timeout(9) 💅

okay so bestie, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual — like, actual Linux kernel documentation, no cap — and it's all about the function xprt_rdma_set_connect_timeout. Her whole job? Setting the timeouts for establishing a connection. That's it, that's the vibe. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

xprt_rdma_set_connect_timeout — set timeouts for establishing a connection 🌸

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void xprt_rdma_set_connect_timeout (struct rpc_xprt *xprt , unsigned
long connect_timeout , unsigned long reconnect_timeout );

like, she takes three things and returns nothing (void, icon behaviour honestly) 🫶

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• xprt — the controlling transport instance. the main character, the one actually holding the connection together 👑
• connect_timeout — reconnect timeout after client disconnects. (yes babes, the label says connect and the description says reconnect after client disconnects — that's literally what it says, don't come for me 🙈)
• reconnect_timeout — reconnect timeout after server disconnects. this one's the server-side flake-out timer ✨

ngl the two timeout descriptions look suspiciously similar, but they're doing different jobs: one for when the client dips, one for when the server dips. lowkey important, highkey useful 💅
