💅 xprt_switch_put(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real talk, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual (xprt_switch_put(9)) and it's genuinely so simple you're gonna slay it. no cap. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

xprt_switch_put — release a reference to a rpc_xprt_switch 🦋

like, you're literally just letting go. putting it down. releasing the reference. it's giving closure. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void xprt_switch_put (struct rpc_xprt_switch *xps );

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one function, one arg, returns void (so like, nothing back, don't @ it). ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • xps — pointer to struct rpc_xprt_switch. it's a pointer, bestie, so be normal about it and pass a valid one fr fr. 💜

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so the whole thing: you call this and it releases the reference to xps, and then it frees it once the refcount is zero. 🫶

that's the entire personality. it's a refcount drop with a lil cleanup on the side — when the last reference goes bye-bye, the thing actually gets freed. no cap, that's it, that's the function. icon behavior honestly 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the kernel file is ./net/sunrpc/xprtmultipath.c and if you're obsessed (you are) here's the whole friend group you should also go read:

main character energy across the entire net/sunrpc directory honestly ⭐

💀 tiny reminder: xps is a pointer to struct rpc_xprt_switch, and the free only happens once the refcount is zero. it's literally in the description, don't come for me. 🙈

and that's the page!! brought to you by ./net/sunrpc, dated October 2026, from the Kernel API Manual. mwah, go free those references responsibly 💖✨🎀🦋🌸💅🫶
