🎀 NAME 🎀

switchdev_port_obj_del — delete port object. That's the name, that's the job, it's giving very direct 💅

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • dev — port device. The port device, bestie, no cap.
  • obj — object to delete. The object you're deleting, periodt.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so here's the actual vibe check: if the SWITCHDEV_F_DEFER flag is not set, then rtnl_lock must be held, and you must not be in an atomic section. That's the whole rule — don't skip it 😭
