💅 rethook_recycle(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is rethook_recycle, and it's literally the "k thanks bye" of the rethook world — you're handing a node back so it can be reused. it's from the Kernel API Manual, and yes it's as short and sweet as it sounds. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

rethook_recycle — give the node back to rethook. that's it. that's the whole thing. 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void rethook_recycle (struct rethook_node *node );

no return value, no drama, just vibes and one pointer. 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• node — the struct rethook_node you're returning. it's the thing being handed back, bestie. 🎀

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea: you return the node back to node::rethook. that's the whole job, and it ate. 🔥

but okay, plot twist — if node::rethook is already marked as freed, then this call will free the node instead. so like, the node gets freed. that's the situation. not me being dramatic, that's literally what it says. 😭
