💅 __stm_source_link_drop 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual (section 9) — this page is all about __stm_source_link_drop, and it's lowkey the “unlink era” icon we need. 🎀✨

✨ NAME ✨

__stm_source_link_drop — detach stm_source from an stm device. periodt. 💅

🛠️ SYNOPSIS 🛠️

int __stm_source_link_drop (struct stm_source_device *src , struct stm_device *stm );

💬 ARGUMENTS 💬

• src — the stm_source device, aka the source bestie in this situation. 🫶
• stm — the stm device, aka the other half of the link vibe. 💖

📝 DESCRIPTION 📝

If stm is src::link, disconnect them from one another and put the reference on the stm device. no cap, that's the whole move. ✂️💔

Caller must hold stm::link_mutex. like, MUST must — this is not a drill, bestie. 🔒😤
