svc_udp_release_ctxt(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie, and it's short but it's mighty. It's literally one function whose whole entire job is to release transport-related resources. That's it. That's the function. And honestly? Iconic minimalism. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void svc_udp_release_ctxt (struct svc_xprt *xprt , void *ctxt );

no cap, that's the whole signature. two args, one return of void, zero drama. 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • xprt — the transport which owned the context. like, the transport is the main character here and it's the one holding onto this context, so yeah, it's the one showing up to claim it. 👑
  • ctxt — the context from rqstp->rq_xprt_ctxt or dr->xprt_ctxt. yep, it comes from one of those two spots, both listed right there, don't @ me. 🔥

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

everything below is from the kernel file ./net/sunrpc/svcsock.c, and these are all the sibling functions you should go read next, fr fr:

like, go binge the whole friend group, they're all in ./net/sunrpc and they all ate. 💖

that's the whole page, bestie — short and sweet, just like we like it. this little cutie lives in ./net/sunrpc and it's dated October 2026, so go forth and release those transport-related resources responsibly. mwah 🦋✨🎀
