irdma_dec_refcnt_listen(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie — today's main character is irdma_dec_refcnt_listen(9). It's giving clean-up-the-listener energy, and we're gonna read it together like a group chat. 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

irdma_dec_refcnt_listen — delete listener and associated cm nodes. That's the whole name-section vibe: delete a listener plus the cm nodes that are associated with it. Periodt. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int irdma_dec_refcnt_listen (struct irdma_cm_core *cm_core , struct
       irdma_cm_listener *listener , int free_hanging_nodes , bool apbvt_del );

Not me staring at this signature like it's a screenshot — it returns an int, and it takes cm_core, listener, free_hanging_nodes, and apbvt_del. 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • cm_core — cm's core. Literally the cm core struct, no cap.
  • listener — pointer to listener node.
  • free_hanging_nodes — to free associated cm_nodes. That's the flag's whole deal here.
  • apbvt_del — flag to delete the apbvt.
Okay bestie, quick vibe check: the argument descriptions above are exactly the facts from the page. I'm just adding the sparkle. 💅
