rdma_destroy_id(9)

💅 rdma_destroy_id(9) — the Kernel API Manual era 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for rdma_destroy_id(9), the little function that says bye-bye to your RDMA identifier ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

rdma_destroy_id — Destroys an RDMA identifier.</p> literally what it says on the tin, no cap 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void rdma_destroy_id (struct rdma_cm_id *id );

that's it, that's the whole signature 🫶

---

⭐ ARGUMENTS ⭐

• id — the RDMA identifier. yeah. that's the one getting destroyed. the main character of this whole situation 👑

---

💀 NOTE 💀

calling this function has the effect of canceling in-flight asynchronous operations associated with the id.

so like... yes it destroys the id, but also — and this is the part people forget — it cancels the in-flight async operations that are tied to that id. not me warning you about in-flight stuff like an airport announcement 😭 if you had async things still cooking, they're not cooking anymore, periodt.
