selinux_netl...curity_reset(9)

✨ selinux_netlbl_sk_security_reset(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💅 this one's section 9, a kernel function page, and it's honestly a little cutie. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

selinux_netlbl_sk_security_reset — reset the NetLabel fields ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void selinux_netlbl_sk_security_reset (struct sk_security_struct *sksec
);

like, it returns void, so don't be out here expecting a return value, bestie 💀 it just does the thing.

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• sksec — the sk_security_struct, obvs 🎀 that's the thing getting its fields reset.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the vibe here is: you call this when the NetLabel state of a sk_security_struct needs to be reset. that's it, that's the whole function, and it ate 💅

heads up though — the caller is responsible for all the NetLabel sk_security_struct locking. all of it. not some of it, not "eh, close enough" — the caller. so lock it properly or don't come crying to me 😭

ngl the whole "caller handles the locking" line is the main character of this page — don't skip it 🙈

okay that's the page!! mwah 💋 this one came from ./security/selinux, dated October 2026, living in section 9 of the Kernel API Manual — and yes, the header up top and the footer down here both said selinux_netlbl_sk_security_reset(9) the whole time, iconic behavior honestly 🌈✨💜
