okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for xprt_rdma_free — yes it's a (9) page, yes it's the kernel section, no we're not scared 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

xprt_rdma_free — release resources allocated by xprt_rdma_allocate 🎀

like, it's the cleanup girlie. xprt_rdma_allocate did the shopping, and this one takes the bags back. iconic division of labor, fr fr.

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

void xprt_rdma_free (struct rpc_task *task );

that's it. that's the whole signature. void return — no receipts, no notes back, she just does the thing and dips 💨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• task — the RPC task. that's the one and only parameter, your main character of the call 🌈

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the whole vibe: the caller guarantees that rqst->rq_buffer is non-NULL. that's the deal. that's the entire contract. no buffer, no service 💀

not me emphasizing this — it's the literal entire description in the original, so it's staying. the caller promises the buffer is real before this function ever gets called. periodt. 👑
