panthor_vm_pool_destroy(9)

💖 panthor_vm_pool_destroy(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's short and sweet and honestly kinda dramatic — we're yeeting a whole VM pool into the void 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

panthor_vm_pool_destroy — destroy a VM pool. that's it, that's the vibe 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void panthor_vm_pool_destroy (struct panthor_file *pfile );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pfile — the file. yep. that's the entire documented description, iconic honestly 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does it actually do? it destroys all the VMs in the pool, and then releases the pool's resources. full cleanout, no survivors, the whole group chat gets archived 💀✨

⚠️ but here's the plot twist, bestie — VMs can outlive the pool they were created from if other objects hold a reference to those VMs. so like, the pool is gone but the VMs are still out there living their best main character life 😭 keep that in mind fr fr.
