htb_deactivate(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so htb_deactivate is literally the function that removes leaf cl from active feeds. yep, this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and the page title is htb_deactivate(9) — iconic behavior, no cap 💖

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

void htb_deactivate (struct htb_sched *q , struct htb_class *cl );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• q — the priority event queue, bestie 🗂️
• cl — the target class, right on 🎯

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

the way this function is making sure that leaf is active… in other words, it can't be called with a non-active leaf, periodt. it also removes class from the drop list. that's the whole vibe 💅

lowkey important: the doc says you can't call it with a non-active leaf, so don't try to be cute with it 🙈
