bearer_disable(9)

💅 bearer_disable(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so picture this: it's a kernel API manual page, it's called bearer_disable(9), and it's about to tell you how to shut a bearer allll the way down. no cap. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

bearer_disable — literally just "disable this bearer." that's the whole assignment, and she ate. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void bearer_disable (struct net *net , struct tipc_bearer *b );

like, she returns void — she gives nothing back and she's iconic for it. 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• net — the applicable net namespace. like, which net world are we operating in? that one. 🌈
• b — the bearer to disable. yes queen, this bearer, the one you're pointing at. 👑

⚠️ NOTE ⚠️

okay so real talk, not me being dramatic but this routine assumes the caller holds the RTNL lock. that's not a suggestion, that's not a vibe check you can skip — if you don't hold it, that's on you, and it's giving undefined chaos. 😭 hold the lock, bestie. periodt.
