💅 adapter_remove_and_free_device(9) ✨

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual (yes, the kernel has a manual, and yes it's iconic) — and it's all about one very specific little cleanup moment in ./drivers/scsi/dc395x.c. stick with me bestie, it's short and it slays 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

adapter_remove_and_free_device — removes a single device from the adapter, and then frees the device information. that's it. that's the whole job. one device in, one device out, memory released, no crumbs left behind 🧚

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void adapter_remove_and_free_device (struct AdapterCtlBlk *acb , struct DeviceCtlBlk *dcb );

literally just two args, no return value, void and done 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• acb — the adapter device that's getting updated. this is the main character of this operation ngl 👑
• dcb — a device that has previously been added to the adapter. key word: previously. it's already in the family, we're just seeing it out the door 😭

pro tip bestie: if you only want one device gone, you're in the right place — adapter_remove_and_free_all_devices(9) is the whole-group-exit version, and that's a different vibe entirely 💀
