💅 nilfs_segctor_destroy(9) — the kernel API glow-up 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the nilfs_segctor_destroy page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's short but iconic, and we're gonna read it together like it's the group chat 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

nilfs_segctor_destroy — destroy the segment constructor. yes, that's the whole vibe. it destroys it. periodt 💀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void nilfs_segctor_destroy (struct nilfs_sc_info *sci );

literally just hand it the sci and it handles the rest 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• sci — a nilfs_sc_info, and ngl that's all the original tells us about it, so that's all we're gonna claim 💅

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

okay so here's the tea, bestie: nilfs_segctor_destroy kills the segctord thread and frees the nilfs_sc_info struct. two jobs. one function. main character energy honestly ✨

🚨 caveat, and it's a big one: the caller must hold the segment semaphore. not optional, not a suggestion, fr fr. hold it or don't call it 🙈
