batadv_dat_entry_release(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸 — batadv_dat_entry_release(9) in the Kernel API Manual

okay so this is batadv_dat_entry_release(9), and she is literally the cleanup bestie for a dat_entry: she releases it from the lists and queues it up to be freed after the RCU grace period. Not instant free — RCU grace period first, periodt ✨.

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

void batadv_dat_entry_release (struct kref *ref );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ref — the kref pointer of the dat_entry. That’s the little handle she needs, bestie 🫶.
