bnx2i_release_free_cid_que(9)

💅 bnx2i_release_free_cid_que — a Kernel API Manual moment (section 9, bestie)

okay so real talk, this is bnx2i_release_free_cid_que from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and honestly? she's a short one but she's important. This is the cleanup girlie. The one who shows up after the party and takes the trash out. Iconic behavior, no notes. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

bnx2i_release_free_cid_que — literally releases the iscsi_cid queue resources. that's it. that's the whole job. she frees the queue, she goes home. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void bnx2i_release_free_cid_que (struct bnx2i_hba *hba );

bestie notice the void — she does not return anything, she just does the thing and dips. main character energy fr fr. 🦋

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• hba — pointer to the adapter instance. like, the actual NIC/adapter object she's about to clean up after. give her the right one or it's giving chaos 😭

ngl there's not a ton of lore in this one — no options, no env vars, no exit statuses, no warnings. just a void function, one pointer arg, and a whole lot of friends in SEE ALSO. sometimes that's enough 💖
