💖 netlbl_unlhsh_search_iface(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is netlbl_unlhsh_search_iface(9), from the Kernel API Manual — and yes it's a mouthful, we're gonna say it together, no cap 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

netlbl_unlhsh_search_iface — literally just: search for a matching interface entry 🔍

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct netlbl_unlhsh_iface * netlbl_unlhsh_search_iface (int ifindex );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ifindex — the network interface 💅 that's the one you're looking for, that's the whole vibe

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so bestie, what this does is it searches the unlabeled connection hash table 🗂️ and hands you back a pointer to the interface entry that matches ifindex. slay. and if nothing matches? you get NULL back, sorry babe 😭 that's just how it is.

⚠️ okay important, listen up 👂 — the caller is responsible for making sure the hash table is protected, either with a RCU read lock or with the hash table lock. like, that's on you, not on this function. do not skip this step fr fr 💀
