inet_twsk_bind_unhash(9)

✨ inet_twsk_bind_unhash 💅

ok so bestie, this is the manual page for inet_twsk_bind_unhash — it's a Kernel API Manual situation, and honestly? she's a tiny little function with a big job 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

inet_twsk_bind_unhash — unhash a timewait socket from bind hash

literally what it says on the tin, no cap ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void inet_twsk_bind_unhash (struct inet_timewait_sock *tw , struct
inet_hashinfo *hashinfo );

that's the whole signature, bestie — copy it exactly, void, two args, done 🫶

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• tw — timewait socket. this is the little guy getting unhashed 🥺
• hashinfo — hashinfo pointer. yes, a pointer to hashinfo. she's pointing at the hash info. iconic behavior 💅

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function unhashes a timewait socket from the bind hash, if it's hashed. that "if" is doing a lot of work, so clock it 👑

⚠️ the bind hash lock must be held by caller. like, that's on you, not on her. no lock, no service 😭

and here's the lil plot twist: it returns 1 if the caller should call inet_twsk_put after lock release. so yeah — check the return value, bestie, and go call inet_twsk_put once you've released the lock. that's the whole vibe check 💀✨
