rdma_restrack_no_track(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… rdma_restrack_no_track(9) β€” from the Kernel API Manual, bestie πŸŽ€

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's a short one but it's giving "don't touch that" energy and i respect it fr fr.


✨ NAME ✨

rdma_restrack_no_track β€” literally just don't add resource to the DB. that's it. that's the whole vibe. πŸ’€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void rdma_restrack_no_track (struct rdma_restrack_entry *res );

like yes, that's the entire signature, and yes, you read the void correctly. nothing comes back. it just happens. πŸ¦‹


🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

  • res β€” the resource entry, bestie. that's the one thing you're handing over. it's a struct rdma_restrack_entry * and it wants to be left alone (more on that in a sec πŸ‘€).

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

okay so here's the tea β˜• β€” every user of this API should be cross examined. not even joking, that's the actual stance. the page says it straight up.

and then it follows with the softest, most passive-aggressive line in kernel documentation: "Probably you don't need to use this function." 😭 like the docs are sitting you down gently and saying bestie, no.

so like… if you came here thinking "omg i should totally call this," please do a lil vibe check first. the manpage is lowkey begging you to reconsider. πŸ™ˆ

like literally all of these are your supporting cast, go read them, iykyk πŸ’…
