🦋 _batadv_tt_global_del_orig_entry(9) 🦋

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes the whole thing, and yes we're reading kernel docs together, that's just the kind of friendship we have 💅 this page is about _batadv_tt_global_del_orig_entry, and honestly? she's a little cleanup queen and we stan.

✨ NAME ✨

_batadv_tt_global_del_orig_entry — remove and free an orig_entry, that's literally her whole job 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void _batadv_tt_global_del_orig_entry (struct batadv_tt_global_entry
*tt_global_entry , struct batadv_tt_orig_list_entry *orig_entry );

like, she returns void — nothing back, no drama, just vibes and a freed struct 😌

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • tt_global_entry — the global entry you're removing the orig_entry from. she's the one holding the list, she's the main character here 👑
  • orig_entry — the orig entry that's getting removed and freed. sorry babe, your era is over 🫶

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what she does is: remove an orig_entry from its list inside the given tt_global_entry, and then free that orig_entry afterwards. that's it, that's the function. unlink, then free. iconic behaviour, no notes ⭐

🚨 but listen to me, bestie, this part is not a joke: the caller must hold tt_global_entry->list_lock and must ensure orig_entry->list is part of a list. like, both of those things, every time, no exceptions. do it wrong and it's giving undefined chaos 😭 don't be that girl.
