idpf_vport_ctrl_lock(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the idpf_vport_ctrl_lock(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — and the name is literally idpf_vport_ctrl_lock — Acquire the vport control lock. No cap, that's the whole vibe.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

The signature is giving:

void idpf_vport_ctrl_lock (struct net_device *netdev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• netdev — Network interface device structure. That's the netdev, bestie: the network interface device structure you're passing in.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This lock should be used by non-datapath code to protect against vport destruction. So like, if you're not in the datapath, grab this lock so a vport doesn't get destroyed out from under you — it's giving safety rails, periodt.
