💅 ata_platform_remove_one(9) — like, the platform-layer callback for when a device ✨leaves✨

okay so real talk, bestie: this one's a page out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's short but it matters — it's the little hook that tells libata "hey girl, that device is gone, wrap it up 🎀".

✨ NAME ✨

ata_platform_remove_one — the platform layer callback for device removal 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ata_platform_remove_one (struct platform_device *pdev );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • pdev — the platform device that was removed. yeah, that one. it's gone now 💀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So the platform layer uses this hook to tell libata that a hot-unplug or a module unload event just happened 👀. In response, it detaches all ports. That's the whole job.

Now, before you panic about cleanup — resource release is not your problem here, because it's handled via devres ✨. so clean, so iconic, no manual teardown arc.

LOCKING: inherited from the platform layer — and heads up, it may sleep 😴. so don't go calling it from somewhere spicy, iykyk.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the whole libata extended universe fr fr, plus the kernel file it lives in:

and that's the whole page, bestie, no cap 💜 it lives over in ./drivers/ata, dated October 2026, and it's filed as ata_platform_remove_one(9) — go forth and detach those ports 🧚‍♀️⭐
