💅 batadv_forw_packet_list_free — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up era of batadv_forw_...et_list_free(9) 🎀 this is the kernel API manual page, and we're gonna get you so comfy with it. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

batadv_forw_packet_list_free — free a list of forward packets. that's it. that's the whole job. and she does it beautifully 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void batadv_forw_packet_list_free (struct hlist_head *head );

literally just one argument, we love a low-maintenance icon 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • head — a list of to be freed forw_packets. yes, the whole list. she's taking the entire friend group with her on the way out 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea ☕ this function does three things in a very specific order, and honestly? the way she handles it is giving main character energy:

first, she cancels the scheduling of any packet in the provided list. bye bestie, you're not going out today 🙈

then she waits for any possibly running packet forwarding thread to finish. patient queen. she's not gonna yank the rug out from under anything mid-flight 💅

and finally, she safely frees this forward packet. closure. slay. periodt.

⚠️ okay important heads up: this function might sleep. so like, don't call it somewhere where sleeping is not allowed — she needs her nap and she's not sorry about it 😭
