__remove_profile(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 __remove_profile(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is a (9) page, which means it's kernel-internals territory, and the function we're stanning today is __remove_profile. She removes profiles. And their children. Iconic, lowkey brutal, but necessary. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

__remove_profile — remove profile, and children 🫶

Like, yes, the whole little family tree. No profile left behind. Periodt.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void __remove_profile (struct aa_profile *profile );

Copy it exactly, bestie, spaces and all — do NOT go "fixing" the formatting, I'm begging 😭

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • profile — the profile to be removed. NOT NULL, fr fr. Do not hand this function a NULL, that's not the vibe, that's a crash waiting to happen 💀

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Okay so here's the thing that matters, and I need you to actually read this part instead of skimming like it's a group chat you're 200 messages behind on 🙈

Requires: the namespace list lock be held, or the list not be shared. 🚨

That's the whole vibe check of this page. Either you're holding that lock, or the list isn't shared — pick one, no cap. Showing up without either is giving "main character energy" in the worst possible way. 😭
