selinux_net...ecurity_free(9)
β¨ NAME β¨
selinux_netlbl_sk_security_free β okay bestie, this one's a little function from the kernel API manual (section 9, iykyk) and it does exactly one job: it frees the NetLabel fields. That's it. That's the whole vibe. π
π«Ά SYNOPSIS π«Ά
void selinux_netlbl_sk_security_free (struct sk_security_struct *sksec
);
No return value, no drama. She just takes a pointer and dips. β¨
π ARGUMENTS π
sksecβ thesk_security_struct. Like, the struct in question. The main character of this whole operation. π
π DESCRIPTION π
So here's the tea: this function frees all of the memory sitting in the NetLabel fields of a sk_security_struct. Every last bit. Cleanup arc complete, no cap. π§Ήβ¨
Not me being obsessed with a function that literally just deallocates stuff β but honestly? Iconic. Someone has to do the tidying, and she volunteered. π«Ά

Like a whole friend group of selinux_netlbl_* functions β she's just the one holding the trash bag at the end of the party. ππ
Okurrr, that's the whole page! This lil masterpiece comes to you straight from the source path ./security/selinux, stamped October 2026, and yesβthe header up top really did get cut off as selinux_net...ecurity_free(9), and I'm choosing to find that endearing. π Go free those NetLabel fields, bestie. Slay π
