✨ bond_sk_hash_l34 ✨ <small>(section 9, Kernel API Manual bestie)</small>

okay so 💅 welcome to the bonding corner of the kernel, this one's a (9) manual page and it's lowkey doing the most important little job: hashing your sockets. let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

bond_sk_hash_l34 — generate a hash value based on the socket's L3 and L4 fields ✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

u32 bond_sk_hash_l34 (struct sock *sk );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• sk — socket to use for headers 💖

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so here's the tea ☕: this function will extract the necessary field from the socket and use them to generate a hash based on the LAYER34 xmit_policy. it's giving "routing decisions but make it cute" ✨

heads up bestie 🫶 — it assumes that sk is a TCP or UDP socket. no cap, that's the vibe check it needs to pass.
