isert_conn_terminate(9)

💅 isert_conn_terminate(9) 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — we're doing kernel-function lore today and honestly? it's giving "tiny function, big responsibilities." let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

isert_conn_terminate — the girl whose whole job is Initiate connection termination. she shows up, she says "we're done here," and she means it 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void isert_conn_terminate (struct isert_conn *isert_conn );

yes that's the whole signature. no return value, she doesn't owe you one 🫶

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• isert_conn — the isert connection struct. literally the connection in question, the main character of this whole function 🔥

---

⭐ NOTES ⭐

okay so here's the tea, and you need to hear it 👑

• if the connection state is BOUND, she moves the state to TEMINATING and kicks off the teardown sequence (rdma_disconnect). yes, TEMINATING — that's exactly how it's spelled in the source, don't come for me 😭
• if the connection state is UP, she completes the flush as well. both things, not one, not the other. the whole package 🎀

the important caveat, no cap: this routine must be called with the mutex held. because of that, it is safe to call multiple times. 🔒 so like — grab the mutex first, then you can spam her as much as you want and she'll be fine with it.
