💅 llc_sk_reset — the kernel API manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, we're in llc_sk_reset(9) territory, which is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the actual kernel, not your group chat, tho the drama is comparable 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

llc_sk_reset — resets a connection 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void llc_sk_reset (struct sock *sk );

like, that's the whole vibe. one function, one argument, no cap ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • sk — the LLC socket you're about to reset, bestie. that's the one. that's the target 💅

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the tea ☕ — llc_sk_reset resets a connection into the out of service state. gone. offline era. not taking calls rn 🙈

and because it's a thorough icon, it also:

  • stops its timers ⏱️ (no more ticking, we're done with that)
  • frees any frames sitting in the queues of the connection 🎀 (cleanup is self care, fr fr)

like it's giving "blocked and deleted" but for a connection, and honestly? iconic 👑

ngl this one is destructive by design — it's resetting stuff, so the timers stop and the queued frames get freed. that's the whole point. don't come crying when the queue is empty, that was literally the job 🫶
