ad_disable_distributing(9)

💅 ad_disable_distributing — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to the ad_disable_distributing(9) page, literally the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's short and sweet and it does exactly one thing: it disables a port's transmit. that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ad_disable_distributing — disable a port's transmit

like, the port was transmitting and now it's not. iconic of it honestly 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ad_disable_distributing (struct port *port , bool *update_slave_arr
);

no return value, it's a void situation, we love a function that just does the thing and doesn't need to report back 🫶

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• port — the port we're looking at 👀 literally the port, the one in question, that's the one
• update_slave_arr — does the slave array need an update? that's the question this parameter is asking. a whole yes/no moment 💀

---

reminder bestie: all of those references are in ./drivers/net/bonding/bond_3ad.c, i'm not making that up, it's right there in the source 🌈

and that's the page!! mwah 💋 this little beauty comes from the source ./drivers/net/bonding, dated October 2026, and it's filed under ad_disable_distributing(9) in the Kernel API Manual. go off, transmit-disabling icon 👑✨
