bnx2i_conn_destroy(9)

💅 bnx2i_conn_destroy(9) — kernel API manual, but make it make sense

okay bestie, so this is a page from the kernel API manual, section 9, and the whole star of the show is bnx2i_conn_destroy. it's a kernel function, it lives in the bnx2i iSCSI driver, and it's about ✨cleaning up✨. iykyk.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

bnx2i_conn_destroy — destroy iscsi connection instance & release resources. that's it, that's the whole job. it takes an iSCSI connection and it ends it, and it frees the resources that connection was holding onto. no cap, it's the cleanup queen 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void bnx2i_conn_destroy (struct iscsi_cls_conn *cls_conn );

it's giving void — nothing comes back. no return value, no little treat at the end, just vibes and freed memory 🫶

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• cls_conn — pointer to iscsi cls conn. that's the one (1) argument, bestie. it's a pointer to the iscsi_cls_conn — the iSCSI class connection — and it's literally the thing getting destroyed. main character energy, honestly 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea 🍓: bnx2i_conn_destroy destroys an iSCSI connection instance, and it releases the memory resources that this connection was holding. that's the entire plot. it's a teardown function — the "okay we're done here, pack it up" moment for a connection. no extra lore, no secret behaviour, just destruction and resource release, periodt 🔥

fr fr: if you're the one calling this, the connection instance is going away and its memory is being freed. don't be out here using it afterwards, that's not a vibe 💀
