💅 rsi_mac80211_rfkill_exit — kernel API manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about one very specific tiny little function. she's not famous but she matters ✨

✨ NAME ✨

rsi_mac80211_rfkill_exit — this function is used to stop rfkill polling when the device is removed.

like, the vibe is: device's gone, so we're shutting the rfkill polling down. no more polling. she's done. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

yes that's the whole thing. void in, void out, one pointer. lowkey elegant ngl 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • adapter — Pointer to the adapter structure. that's it, that's the whole ask. just hand her the adapter and she'll handle the rest 💖

⭐ RETURN ⭐

like, literally nothing comes back. void core. no return value, no drama, no strings attached 😌

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

and if you wanna read her source (and honestly why wouldn't you), she lives right here in the kernel file:

go say hi 🧚

ngl this page is short but she's iconic in her own quiet way. no flags, no options, no edge cases — just a clean little exit function doing her thing 💜

and that's the tea bestie 🍓 this lil page came out of ./drivers/net/wireless/rsi back in October 2026, and the whole time it's been signed rsi_mac80211_rfkill_exit(9). periodt. 💅✨
