💅 cpuhp_state_remove_instance_nocalls — the kernel API manual, but make it make sense ✨

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's about one very specific little function: cpuhp_state_remove_instance_nocalls. the name is a whole mouthful, i know, but stay with me 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

cpuhp_state_remove_instance_nocalls — removes a hotplug instance from a state without invoking the teardown callback 🎀

like, it's giving "we're breaking up but we're not doing the dramatic goodbye speech." no callback, no tears, just vibes 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int cpuhp_state_remove_instance_nocalls (enum cpuhp_state state , struct
hlist_node *node );

that's the whole signature, character for character, no cap 🔥

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • state — the state from which the instance gets removed. yes queen, tell it exactly which state we're leaving 👑
  • node — the node for this individual state. it's the specific one, not a group thing, okay? 💖

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Removes the instance without invoking the teardown callback.

that's literally the whole bit. it does the removal, but skips the teardown callback entirely — hence the _nocalls in the name, iykyk 🙈✨

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

first off, the kernel file lives at ./include/linux/cpuhotplug.h — go look, it's iconic ⭐

and then the whole friend group of related calls, all of them, right here:

ngl bestie, that's a lot of SEE ALSOs, but every single one of them is in the original so we are NOT skipping any 🫶💀

🎀 sign-off 🎀

this little masterpiece ships from ./include/linux, and it's dated October 2026 — so yes, it's from the future and it's still serving 💖✨ slay, go remove those instances, periodt 💅🌸
