💖 ksz9477_acl_remove_entries(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for ksz9477_acl_remove_entries. yes it's a mouthful, no you don't have to say it out loud at parties. it's a kernel function, it's giving "quietly doing important work in the DSA layer," and we're gonna get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ksz9477_acl_remove_entries — removes ACL entries that have a given cookie from a specified ksz9477_acl_entries structure. like, it finds the entries matching your cookie and yeets them. cookie-based deletion, we love a lookup key 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ksz9477_acl_remove_entries (struct ksz_device *dev , int port ,
       struct ksz9477_acl_entries *acles , unsigned long cookie );

notice the void return — this one doesn't come back with receipts, it just does the thing 🌸

---

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

• dev — the ksz_device instance. your main character device struct 🫶
• port — the port number on which the ACL entries get removed. yes, port-specific, no cap.
• acles — the ksz9477_acl_entries instance. the actual list we're editing, icon behavior.
• cookie — the cookie value to match for entry removal. this is the ✨vibe check✨ — match it and you're out.

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

k so here's the whole plot: this function iterates through the entries array and removes any entries with a matching cookie value. that's the matchup, that's the criteria, no notes.

and then — because leaving a gap in an array is so not slay — the remaining entries get shifted down to fill the gap. tidy. clean. the array stays compact. it's giving "we don't do holes here" 💀✨

ngl the whole thing is basically: scan → match on cookie → remove → shift the leftovers down. two steps, zero drama 🙈
