💅 DECLARE_IP_...ETS_SAFE_RCU(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, that's the whole manual name, she's fancy like that 🎀 — and today's main character is a macro with the longest name in the group chat. Buckle up, it's literally one line of lore but we're gonna give it the energy it deserves ✨

✨ NAME ✨

DECLARE_IP_VS_RHT_WALK_BUCKETS_SAFE_RCU — the macro that just declares variables for you. that's it. that's the whole job. and honestly? she ate 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

DECLARE_IP_VS_RHT_WALK_BUCKETS_SAFE_RCU

no args, no parentheses, no drama. you just drop her in and she does her little declaration thing 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

k so, real talk: this macro sets up the variables that ip_vs_rht_walk_buckets_safe_rcu needs to do its thing. like, she's the backstage crew for that function — no cap, no spotlight, just vibes and variable declarations so the actual walking-around code has somewhere to live 😌🔥

it's giving "supporting role that quietly carries the whole production." iconic behavior tbh 👑
