idpf_del_all_mac_filters(9)

💅 idpf_del_all_mac_filters(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual entry, bestie

okay so this is straight out of the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel-adjacent, very demure) and it's about yeeting every single MAC filter out of a list. all of them. not one. all. periodt.

---

✨ NAME ✨

idpf_del_all_mac_filters — Delete all MAC filters in list 🗑️✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void idpf_del_all_mac_filters (struct idpf_vport *vport );

like, it returns void. it gives nothing back. it just does. main character energy fr fr 💅

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• vport — the main vport struct 👑 she's the one holding everything together, the blueprint, the moment

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay bestie so here's the tea: this function takes the mac_filter_list_lock spinlock 🔒 (yes, we're locking, we're being responsible, we're not out here causing races) and then it deletes all the filters. every last one. no survivors. it's giving spring cleaning but for MAC filters 🧹💀

no cap, that's literally the whole job. lock it up, wipe the list, done. slay.
