ip_vs_rht_walk_buckets(9)

💅 ip_vs_rht_walk_buckets 💅

okay so this one is from the Kernel API Manual bestie, and it's literally the function that walks all the buckets. yes, all of them. every single one. no cap. 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

ip_vs_rht_walk_buckets — the walk-all-buckets girlie 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ip_vs_rht_walk_buckets (table , head );

like that's it. that's the whole call. two args, go off 👑

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• table — struct ip_vs_rht __rcu *table — the table itself, bestie. she's an __rcu pointer and yes the RCU annotation matters, do not come for me 🙈
• head — bucket address, used as cursor, struct hlist_bl_head *var — this one is your lil cursor, it holds the bucket address as you scoot along. main character of the loop, honestly 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the vibe check here is: use this one if others cannot add, delete, or move entries. that's the whole condition. if other people are out here mutating stuff, this walk is not the moment — periodt. 🫶

💀 reminder queen: this walk assumes nobody else is adding, deleting, or moving entries. that's not a suggestion, that's the whole reason this function exists. respect the boundaries or else 😭
