💅 ecryptfs_evict_inode(9) — from the Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for ecryptfs_evict_inode 🎀 this one's a little cleanup baddie and honestly she ate.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ecryptfs_evict_inode — (no description given, she's mysterious like that 🙈)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ecryptfs_evict_inode (struct inode *inode );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• inode — the ecryptfs inode itself, the main character of this whole situation 👑

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so picture this: iput calls this function when the inode's reference count has hit zero and the inode isn't hashed anywhere 🫶

its whole job? clear out anything that needs clearing before the inode gets completely destroyed and yeeted onto the inode free list 💀 like a little pre-going-away tidy-up session.

and what do we use it for specifically? we use it to drop our reference to the lower inode. that's the vibe. periodt. 🎀
