atl1_remove(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the atl1_remove(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — it’s literally the Device Removal Routine and it’s here to explain how the driver lets go of a PCI device. 🎀✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

atl1_remove — Device Removal Routine. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void atl1_remove (struct pci_dev *pdev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pdev — the PCI device information struct. That’s the whole vibe: one argument, PCI device info. 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

atl1_remove is called by the PCI subsystem to alert the driver that it should release a PCI device. No cap, that’s the whole job.

This can be caused by a Hot-Plug event, or because the driver is going to be removed from memory. Either way, the driver gets the heads-up. 🦋
