vdo_priority_table_remove(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 vdo_priority_table_remove — ok so we're REMOVING stuff bestie ✨

So this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes, the actual kernel, we're fancy now 👑), and it's about one little function called vdo_priority_table_remove. It is literally in the kernel tree at ./drivers/md/dm-vdo, which — slay — means somebody out there is trusting this with their storage stack. No pressure 🫶

🎀 NAME 🎀

vdo_priority_table_remove — Remove a specified entry from its priority table.

Bestie that's it. That's the job. One entry, out of its table, gone. Bye 💨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void vdo_priority_table_remove (struct priority_table *table , struct
list_head *entry );

The way that this returns void? Iconic. It gives "I did the thing, I'm not gonna report on the thing" energy 💅

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • table — The table from which to remove the entry. Like, the actual priority table you're pulling from. She's the main character here 🔥
  • entry — The entry to remove from the table. This is the one getting evicted, and honestly? She had a good run 😭

That's both of them. Two args. Very demure, very mindful 🎀

The whole friend group, fr fr:

Like, make her, free her, reset her, enqueue into her, dequeue out of her, check if she's empty… and then this page is the one that just removes one specific entry. A whole ecosystem. We love to see it 🌈

ngl bestie, this function is void and takes exactly table and entry — no options, no flags, no environment variables, no exit statuses, no signals. Just vibes and a removal. That's the entire tea 🍓

Okay that's the whole page, you ate that 💅✨ Source? ./drivers/md/dm-vdo. Dated? October 2026 (yes, the future, we're ahead of schedule 🕰️). And the version/name on the tin is vdo_priority_table_remove(9) — see you in the next one, bestie 🫶💖
