__aa_remove_ns(9)

💅 __aa_remove_ns — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so welcome to the __aa_remove_ns(9) page, part of the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's short and sweet but she is IMPORTANT, so pay attention fr fr.

---

✨ NAME ✨

__aa_remove_ns — the icon that removes a namespace and, like, all its children too 👑 no namespace left behind, periodt.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void __aa_remove_ns (struct aa_ns *ns );

like literally that's the whole signature, she's a void so she gives nothing back, she just does 💅

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• ns — the namespace to be removed. NOT NULL 🚨 like do not even think about passing NULL, bestie, that is not the vibe 🙈

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

Okay so the requirements here are non-negotiable, iykyk:

• you must be holding ns->parent->lock 🔒
• and ns must already be removed from its parent

That's it. That's the whole description. Short queen energy ⭐ but you cannot skip the setup steps or it's giving undefined behaviour 💀

ngl the function does the job, but you have to hold the lock and do the parent-removal first. She's not doing your homework for you 🫶
