✨ rtl83xx_port_fast_age — kernel API manual, but make it cute ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the rtl83xx_port_fast_age(9) page 💅 this is a Kernel API Manual moment, and honestly? it's giving "tiny function, big purpose." let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

rtl83xx_port_fast_age — flush dynamic FDB entries learned on a port ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void rtl83xx_port_fast_age (struct dsa_switch *ds , int port );

like, that's the whole vibe. two args, no return, no drama 💜

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ds — the DSA switch instance. yes, that one. the main character 👑
  • port — the port index. which port are we talking about? this one 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea ☕: this function requests the switch to age out dynamic FDB entries learned on port. that's it, that's the whole job. it's not out here doing the aging itself, it's politely asking the switch to do it. delegation icon behavior, honestly 🌈

no cap, if you've got stale dynamic FDB entries chilling on a port, this is the function you call to get them evicted ✨

🔥 CONTEXT 🔥

Can sleep. 😴

bestie, that means you are not allowed to call this from atomic context. it can sleep, so treat it like a napper — give it a context where sleeping is legal, fr fr 🙈

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Nothing. literally nothing. void energy. she does the work and leaves silently, like a true icon 💀💅
