adf_dev_put(9)

💅 adf_dev_put(9) — from the Kernel API Manual

okay bestie, so this is adf_dev_put from the Kernel API Manual, and it's lowkey the "you can leave now" friend to adf_dev_get's "stay a while" 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

adf_dev_put — decrement the accel_dev reference count 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void adf_dev_put (struct adf_accel_dev *accel_dev );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• accel_dev — pointer to the acceleration device, aka the main character you're about to sign out 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the vibe 🌸: adf_dev_put decrements the accel_dev refcount, and if this is the last time it gets decremented during this period the accel_dev is in use, it decrements the module refcount too. Two-for-one goodbye, periodt 💅

This one is meant to be used by QAT device specific drivers, iykyk 🔥

✨ RETURN ✨

void — it gives you literally nothing back, and that's iconic of it 💀
