💅 netlbl_domhsh_remove_default — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this one is a lil' function from the NetLabel domain hash table corner of the kernel 🌈. It's called netlbl_domhsh_remove_default, and honestly? it does exactly what it says on the tin — it removes the default entry from the table 🎀. Iconic, no notes.

✨ NAME ✨

netlbl_domhsh_remove_default — Removes the default entry from the table 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int netlbl_domhsh_remove_default (u16 family , struct netlbl_audit
*audit_info );

literally that's the whole signature, bestie — an int coming back at you, a u16 family, and a pointer to your struct netlbl_audit info 💖

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • family — the address family 🧚 (yep, that's the one — the address family)
  • audit_info — the NetLabel audit information 👑

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So here's the vibe 🌸: this function removes/resets the default entry corresponding to family from the domain hash table, and it also handles any updates to the lower level protocol handler (i.e. CIPSO) 🔥. Like, it doesn't just yeet the entry and dip — it's responsible and does the follow-up too. main character energy honestly 👑.

And family? It can be AF_UNSPEC ✨ — and when it is, that removes all address family entries. not a single one, ALL of them. so be normal about it 💅.

It returns zero on success, negative on failure 😭. That's the whole return contract, fr fr.

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

like, the whole domhsh friend group came out for this one 😭🫶
