✨ mesh_path_flush_pending(9) ✨

okay so welcome to the glow-up of the mesh_path_flush_pending manual page, straight out of the Kernel API Manual, section 9, bestie 💅 like yes we're in the kernel docs and we're thriving.

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

mesh_path_flush_pending — frees the pending queue of a mesh path. that's it. that's the whole job. she's a one-task queen 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void mesh_path_flush_pending (struct mesh_path *mpath );

literally one argument. one. we love a low-maintenance function signature 🌸

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• mpath — the mesh path whose queue has to be freed 💫 like this is the actual path object you're purging, so be sure it's the one you meant to flush, okurrr?

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so here's the tea, and it's important tea ☕

Locking: the function must be called within an rcu_read_lock region 🔒✨ (yes, the original says "must me called" — typo and all, she's iconic like that 💀). so no cap, wrap this call in your rcu_read_lock before you go flushing anything, or you're gonna have a bad time 🙈
