💅 ice_dcbnl_flush_apps(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for ice_dcbnl_flush_apps — yes that name is long, yes it's iconic, and yes we're gonna get through it together 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_dcbnl_flush_apps — literally deletes every single APP that got removed 💀✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void ice_dcbnl_flush_apps (struct ice_pf *pf , struct ice_dcbx_cfg
*old_cfg , struct ice_dcbx_cfg *new_cfg );

it's giving "void function, three pointers, no notes" 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • pf — the corresponding PF, aka the main character of this whole situation 👑
  • old_cfg — the old DCBX configuration data, like the ex you're moving on from 🙈
  • new_cfg — the new DCBX configuration data, the glow-up era ✨

🍓 DESCRIPTION 🍓

so what does it actually do? it goes looking for all the APPs 👀 and then — bestie — it finds and deletes every APP that is not present in the passed DCB configuration. poof. gone. not invited to the new config's party 🎉

lowkey ruthless but honestly? it ate 🔥
