fcoe_transport_destroy(9)

💖 fcoe_transport_destroy — destroy a FCoE interface 💖

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual (kernel docs bestie, we're in the big leagues now) and honestly? it's a little function with a big job. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

fcoe_transport_destroy — Destroy a FCoE interface

like, literally. it's the one that tears an FCoE interface down. bye bye 👋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int fcoe_transport_destroy (const char *buffer , const struct
kernel_param *kp );

she takes two args and hands you back an int. simple queen 💅

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• buffer — the name of the Ethernet interface to be destroyed. yes, that's the one getting yeeted. 🪦
• kp — the associated kernel parameter. it's const struct kernel_param * so like, hands off.

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea 🍵 — this gets called from sysfs. and while it's doing its thing, it holds ft_mutex the entire time it calls the registered fcoe transport's destroy function. so bestie is holding the lock while she works. respect it 🫡

lowkey important: the mutex is held across that destroy call. iykyk.

---

✨ RETURN ✨

0 for success 🔥

(that's the whole return section. short and iconic. periodt.)
