📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 svc_xprt_deferred_close 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the svc_xprt_deferred_close(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — yeah it's a kernel manpage, but honestly? it's giving main character energy and i'm obsessed 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

svc_xprt_deferred_close — close a transport 💫

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void svc_xprt_deferred_close (struct svc_xprt *xprt );

literally that's the whole signature, no cap 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • xprt — the transport instance, periodt. that's the thing you're shutting down 🚀

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so here's the vibe: this function is used in contexts that need to defer the work of shutting down the transport to an nfsd thread ⭐

like, sometimes you can't just shut the transport down right this second — the situation is not it — so you hand that job off to an nfsd thread and let it handle the closing. delegation, queen behaviour 👑✨
