mei_io_list_flush_cl(9)

💅 mei_io_list_flush_cl (9) — kernel API manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this one lives in the Kernel API Manual, and it's lowkey a little cleanup crew. one function, does exactly one thing, no notes. let's get into it ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

mei_io_list_flush_cl — removes cbs belonging to the cl. that's it. that's the whole job. she comes in, she clears out the callbacks that belong to a specific client, she leaves. main character energy fr fr 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void mei_io_list_flush_cl (struct list_head *head , const struct mei_cl
*cl );

so she takes a list head and a client, and she returns void — no return value, no "did it work", she just does it and ghosts. iconic 🦋

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• head — an instance of our list structure. like, our list, the one we're flushing from. this is the list she's gonna walk through and sweep. 🧹
• cl — host client. the client whose cbs are getting the boot. if a cb belongs to this cl, it's outta there. sorry not sorry 🙈

both args are required, bestie — there's no version of this call that works with only one of them.

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

the kernel file for all this is ./drivers/misc/mei/client.c — that's where the source lives, go read it if you're feeling brave 💜

ngl if you're looking for options or flags or env vars or exit codes — there are none here. this is a plain kernel function, not a command. no settings, no config, no vibes to tune. just head, cl, and out. 🔥

okay that's the whole page bestie, you ate that 🫶 this one's from the ./drivers/misc/mei source tree, dated October 2026 — see you in the next manpage, mwah 💜🎀⭐
