💖 iavf_addr_unsync(9) — the "please remove this address bestie" callback 💖

okay so real talk, this is a page for iavf_addr_unsync(9), which lives in the `Kernel API Manual, and it's one of those little callback guys that does exactly one job and does it slayfully. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

iavf_addr_unsync — the callback for dev_(mc|uc)_sync that takes an address away 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int iavf_addr_unsync (struct net_device *netdev , const u8 *addr );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • netdev — the netdevice, aka the whole main character of the operation 💅
  • addr — the address. and like, the manual literally labels this one "address to add", which is sending me a little bit given the whole function is about removing 🙈 but that is genuinely what it says, so there you go, iykyk.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So __dev_(mc|uc)_sync calls this whenever an address needs to be removed. that's the whole vibe check. 💀

and here's the part that matters: we call __dev_(uc|mc)_sync from .set_rx_mode, and we guarantee that we're holding the hash lock the whole time. lock held, address handled, no drama. periodt. 🔥
