🌸 rxrpc_kernel_abort_call(9) 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes it's a kernel manpage, yes it's giving serious ✨big brain✨ energy, and no, you're gonna be fine. This one's about rxrpc_kernel_abort_call, and honestly? It's a whole mood. It lets a kernel service abort a call. iconic behavior, truly. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

rxrpc_kernel_abort_call — allow a kernel service to abort a call 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bool rxrpc_kernel_abort_call (struct socket *sock , struct rxrpc_call
*call , u32 abort_code , int error , enum rxrpc_abort_reason why );

like, that's the whole vibe. five args, one bool back. slay. 🔥

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • sock — the socket the call is on. it's literally the home base of the whole situation, okay? 🏠
  • call — the call to be aborted. yes, that one. we're sending it to the shadow realm (politely, through the proper kernel APIs). 😭
  • abort_code — the abort code to stick into the ABORT packet. it's like the little note you tape to the breakup text. 💌
  • error — local error value. the ✨local✨ one, bestie — not the global drama. 🙈
  • why — indication as to why. literally just why. needed for the plot. 🧚

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically — and this is the whole thing — this lets a kernel service abort a call if it's still in an abortable state. that's it. that's the whole function. if it's abortable, you can abort it. if it's not, well. 💀

it's giving "clean exit, no loose ends," and we love that for us. no cap. ⭐

🌈 RETURN 🌈

  • true — the call was aborted. ate and left no crumbs, periodt. 🎉
  • false — it was already complete. the call beat you to it, main character energy on its part honestly. 🎬

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

go read those next, bestie, iykyk 📚✨

ngl this is kernel-land, so a call that's not in an abortable state won't get aborted — you just get false and you gotta deal with it. no guessing allowed, that's literally the documented behavior. 💜

and that's a wrap!! 🍓 this lil gem comes to you from ./net/rxrpc, dated October 2026, filed under rxrpc_kernel_abort_call(9) — mwah, go forth and abort responsibly 💅🎀🦋
