💅 rdma_destroy_qp — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay bestie, so we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the vibe is cleanup. This one's short, it's sweet, and it's giving "take out the trash before your mom gets home" energy. Let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

rdma_destroy_qp — deallocate the QP that's associated with the RDMA identifier you specify. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic honestly 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void rdma_destroy_qp (struct rdma_cm_id *id );

no return value, no drama, just vibes and a pointer. periodt 💅

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • id — okay so real talk, the original literally says -- undescribed -- 😭 so we're not gonna sit here and make something up for you. it's the struct rdma_cm_id * from the synopsis, and that's all we're legally allowed to tell you. iykyk 🫶

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

okay this is THE rule and you need to hear it fr fr:

Users must destroy any QP associated with an RDMA identifier before destroying the RDMA ID.

that's not a suggestion, that's not a "whenever you get around to it" — that's a hard must. QP first, then the ID. do it in that order and you're slaying; do it backwards and you're on your own 🙈

think of it like this: the QP is the roommate and the RDMA ID is the apartment. you do not move out of the apartment while your roommate is still standing in the kitchen. you get the roommate out first, then you hand in the keys. simple as that 💀
