xprt_wait_f..._request_def(9)

💅 NAME

xprt_wait_for_reply_request_def — wait for reply ✨

ok so real talk, this one lives in the Kernel API Manual (that's the book it's filed under, bestie, not a vibe I made up) and it's basically the "hold up, we're waiting" function. 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS

void xprt_wait_for_reply_request_def (struct rpc_task *task );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS

• task — pointer to rpc_task. yep. that's the whole thing. it points at the task. 💖

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function sets a request's retransmit timeout based on the transport's default timeout parameters. that's the whole assignment, no cap.

it's specifically for the transports that don't adjust the retransmit timeout based on round-trip time estimation. like, those ones don't do the RTT math, so this is the fallback girlie who handles it with the defaults. 💅

and then — the part everyone forgets — it puts the task to sleep on the pending queue. 😴 literally tucks it in. night night bestie.
