✨ NAME ✨

__iscsi_put_task — drop the refcount on a task

like literally just drops the refcount. that's the whole vibe. 🌸

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void __iscsi_put_task (struct iscsi_task *task );

that's it, that's the signature, no cap 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• task — the iscsi_task to drop the refcount on. yeah. that one. the task. 🫶

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so this is the part where you gotta listen, because the back_lock must be held when you call this. why? because it might free the task, and if you're not holding the lock while it goes poof, that's giving chaos energy and nobody wants that 😭

so like... hold the lock. fr fr. it's not a suggestion. 🔒✨
