✨ efx_filter_remove_id_safe(9) ✨

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for efx_filter_remove_id_safe(9) — yes, the name is a whole mouthful, but she's iconic, periodt. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

efx_filter_remove_id_safe — remove a filter by ID, carefully. That's literally the whole assignment, bestie: remove a filter by ID, carefully. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int efx_filter_remove_id_safe (struct efx_nic *efx , enum
efx_filter_priority priority , u32 filter_id );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • efx — the NIC from which to remove the filter. Bye filter, hope you had a good run. 👋
  • priority — priority of the filter, as passed to efx_filter_insert_filter. Same energy as when you inserted it, no cap.
  • filter_id — ID of the filter, as returned by efx_filter_insert_filter. This is the little ID card your filter got on the way in. 🪪

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so here's the tea: this function will range-check filter_id, so it is safe to call with a value passed from userland. That's the whole safety arc — it's giving "careful filter removal" energy, and honestly? Obsessed. 💖

No cap: the range-check is the main character here. filter_id gets vibe-checked before anything else happens. 🫶
