klist_remove(9)

💅 klist_remove — bestie's guide to the kernel API manual ✨

okay so real talk, this one's from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel-adjacent vibes only 🎀) and it's honestly short and sweet. no cap, it's giving "one job, does it well" energy.

---

✨ NAME ✨

klist_remove — decrement the refcount of node and wait for it to go away.

like, it drops the reference count down a notch and then literally sits there until the node ghosts the scene entirely 👋💀 no rushing it, we wait for the departure.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void klist_remove (struct klist_node *n );

that's it. that's the whole signature. void, so nothing comes back to you — she doesn't do returns, she does results 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• n — node we're removing. this is the struct klist_node * in question, the one getting its refcount decremented. your main character node, essentially 👑

lowkey reminder: this page is short but the refcount thing is not a joke — you're waiting for the node to actually go away before moving on. don't skip the wait, bestie 😭
