bond_3ad_unbind_slave(9)

💅 bond_3ad_unbind_slave(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up 🎀

okay so real talk, bestie, you're in the Kernel API Manual and the page you opened is bond_3ad_unbind_slave(9). yes it's a mouthful. no you may not abbreviate it in front of the kernel. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

bond_3ad_unbind_slave — deinitialize a slave's port 💔

like, we're breaking up with a port. it's giving closure arc.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void bond_3ad_unbind_slave (struct slave *slave );

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one pointer, zero return value, all business 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• slave — the slave struct to work on. this is the little guy you're operating on, so like… be normal about it 💖

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the tea ☕ — and I mean the literal procedure, no cap:

Search for the aggregator that is related to this port, remove the aggregator, and assign another aggregator for other port related to it (if any), and remove the port.

so: 📍 find the agg → 🗑️ yeet the agg → 🔁 hand any other ports that were tied to it over to a different aggregator (only if any exist, don't come for me) → 🫥 and then the port itself is gone. main character removed from the group chat. periodt.

not me doing surgery on network bonding internals before lunch 😭 but fr fr that's the whole function.

mwah 💋 this page came straight out of ./drivers/net/bonding in October 2026 — that's the source and the date, and yes I'm putting it in the sign-off because it ate. go forth and unbind responsibly, bestie 🫶🌸
