💅 cipso_v4_doi_free_rcu(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for cipso_v4_doi_free_rcu — yes that's a mouthful, yes you're gonna slay it, and yes I'm gonna walk you through every single detail. no skips, no shortcuts. let's go 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

cipso_v4_doi_free_rcu — frees a DOI definition via the RCU pointer 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void cipso_v4_doi_free_rcu (struct rcu_head *entry );

like literally that's the whole signature. void return, one pointer, we move 💅

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • entry — the entry's RCU field. that's it, that's the whole parameter. it's giving "one job, doing it well" energy 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea 🍓 this function is designed to be used as a callback to the call_rcu function — you know, the whole "don't free it yet, wait for the RCU grace period" situation — so that the memory allocated to the DOI definition can be released safely. no cap, safety first, always 🫶

think of it as the responsible friend who makes sure everyone's actually left the party before you lock up. iconic behaviour, honestly 🔥

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

bestie, buckle up, because this list is LONG and I'm not skipping a single one 😭 every one of these is in the kernel file ./net/ipv4/cipso_ipv4.c:

like, that's the whole friend group and they all ate 💜

ngl if you're implementing something in this cluster, read the neighbours too. iykyk 🌈

and that's a wrap, bestie! 🎀 this lil page comes from ./net/ipv4, dated October 2026, in true cipso_v4_doi_free_rcu(9) fashion. go forth and free your RCU pointers safely ✨🦋👑
