rpcrdma_unpin_rqst(9)

💅 rpcrdma_unpin_rqst(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for rpcrdma_unpin_rqst — yes that's the manual section 9, we're in kernel-land now 🧚✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

rpcrdma_unpin_rqst — release an rqst without completing it 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void rpcrdma_unpin_rqst (struct rpcrdma_rep *rep );

that's it. that's the whole signature. no cap, it returns void — nothing comes back, she just does her thing and leaves 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• rep — the RPC/RDMA Receive context 👑 this is the thing you're handing over, bestie, so treat it right

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: you call this when the connection is lost 😭 and you need a Reply to be dropped, so that its matching Call can be retransmitted later on a new connection 🔥

it's giving cleanup era. the Reply doesn't get completed, it gets released — very much on purpose, very much the point. the way that retransmission gets to happen is literally because you unpinned this rqst first. iykyk 🧚‍♀️

heads up: this is the "connection is gone" path, so don't be out here expecting a normal completion — the whole point is that the Reply gets dropped, not finished 💀
