ioc_clear_queue(9)

✨ ioc_clear_queue — the kernel API manual, but make it cute ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to ioc_clear_queue(9) from the Kernel API Manual 💖 this one's short and sweet, and honestly? iconic for it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

ioc_clear_queue — break any ioc association with the specified queue

like, all of them. every last one. gone. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void ioc_clear_queue (struct request_queue *q );

returns nothing (void, so don't go looking for a return value, she gives you nothing back and that's her right 👑), and takes exactly one thing, bestie: q.

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• q — the request_queue being cleared. that's the one, that's the queue in question, she's getting cleared ✨

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So here's the vibe: it walks q->icq_list and exits all io_cq's. that's the whole bit. walk the list, exit the io_cq's, done. no cap, she's efficient like that 🙈
