iscsi_iser_ep_disconnect(9)

💅 iscsi_iser_ep_disconnect(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up of iscsi_iser_ep_disconnect(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual. it's giving "we're ending this connection and we're doing it with grace" ✨

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

iscsi_iser_ep_disconnect — literally the kickoff of the connection teardown process 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void iscsi_iser_ep_disconnect (struct iscsi_endpoint *ep );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• ep — the iscsi endpoint handle. that's the one, that's the target of the whole teardown slay 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this routine is not blocked by the iser and RDMA termination process completing. not even a little. why? because we queue up a deffered work for the iser/RDMA destruction and cleanup… or we just actually call it immediately in case we didn't pass the iscsi conn bind/start stage. either way, it's safe 🫶 no cap, that's the whole vibe check.

so like: deferred work when bind/start already happened, instant call when it didn't. both paths, both iconic, both safe 💖
