batadv_meshif_vlan_release(9)

💅 NAME

Ok so bestie, welcome to the batadv_meshif_vlan_release page — it's part of the Kernel API Manual and honestly it does exactly one thing but it does it iconically: it releases a vlan from the lists and queues it for free after an rcu grace period. That's the whole vibe. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS

void batadv_meshif_vlan_release (struct kref *ref );

Like, that's it. One function, one argument, no return value (void, she gives nothing back and that's her right 💅).

🎀 ARGUMENTS

• ref — the kref pointer of the vlan object, aka the little reference-count handle for the vlan you're letting go of. Hand her over and she handles the rest. 🫶

Seriously, go touch some of that grass — every single one of those is a real sibling function, so don't skip any. ⭐

Ngl there's no return value and no error to check here — it's void all the way down. Just pass the ref and let her cook. 🍓

Alright bestie, that's the page! This little gem lives in ./net/batman-adv, dated October 2026, and it's filed under batadv_meshif_vlan_release(9) — go forth and release those vlans like the main character you are. 👑💖✨
