drm_file *filp );

like, that's the whole signature. void return, two args. no notes. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • adev — an amdgpu_device pointer. that's your GPU device bestie, the main character of the whole amdgpu show 👑
  • filp — a drm_file pointer. think of it as "which open file are we talking about here" 🦋

Close all VCE handles still open by this file pointer.

fr fr that's it — this function goes "nope, we're not leaving those handles lying around" and closes every single VCE handle that filp still has open. cleanup slay 🧹✨
