💅 xprt_request...d_retransmit(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, we're literally in kernel land now, and you're gonna slay it. this page is short and sweet, so no stress 💖

✨ NAME ✨

xprt_request_need_retransmit — the little vibe check that tells you whether a task needs retransmission 👀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool xprt_request_need_retransmit (struct rpc_task *task );

that's it. that's the whole signature. return type is bool, one argument, no cap 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • task — pointer to rpc_task. that's your main character right there, the task we're checking on ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the whole point: you test for whether a connection breakage means the task has to retransmit. that's the entire job. the connection went 💀, and this function tells you if a retransmit is required for that task.

literally that's it. no extra lore, no hidden side quests 🌈
