hlist_del(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so welcome to the hlist_del(9) manual page, bestie. The whole vibe is: hlist_del — delete the specified hlist_node from its list. That's it, that's the main character energy. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void hlist_del (struct hlist_node *n );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• n — Node to delete. The one getting removed from the list, no cap. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So hlist_del deletes n from its list — slay, iconic, done. But the way that this has a little catch? Read me: this function leaves the node in hashed state. It does not magically unhash it. 😭

If you actually want to unhash n, use hlist_del_init or similar instead. That's the whole note. hlist_del is giving “delete from list,” not “unhash the node.” Periodt.

🚨 important caveat, fr fr: hlist_del leaves the node in hashed state. Use hlist_del_init or similar instead to unhash n.
