okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β€” yes that's the manual name, and yes this page lives in it, slay. we're talking about a kernel function today, so grab your emotional support iced coffee πŸ“ and let's get into it.


✨ NAME ✨

dax_kmem_cleanup_resources β€” literally just remove the dax memory resources. that's the whole vibe. it cleans up. it removes. iconic behaviour, no notes πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void dax_kmem_cleanup_resources (struct dev_dax *dev_dax , struct
       dax_kmem_data *data );

notice the void? she gives nothing back. she just does the thing and leaves. main character energy fr fr πŸ‘‘


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • dev_dax β€” the dev_dax instance. that's your actual dax device hangout spot, the one being cared for.
  • data β€” the dax_kmem_data structure with resource tracking. this is the one keeping receipts πŸ“ β€” it's tracking the resources so this cleanup knows exactly what's what.

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

so here's the tea: this function removes all resources in the dev_dax region. like, all of them. every single resource in that region gets shown the door πŸšͺ✨

it's giving deep-clean-Sunday. you call it, it tidies up the whole region, and then it's done. no return value, no drama, just a clean region and a peaceful kernel. we love a low-maintenance function 🫢


🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

like the whole friend group, honestly. they all hang out in the same file 🧚


πŸ’€ quick reminder: this is a kernel function, so she operates on real resources in a real region. treat her with the respect she deserves β€” no cap.

so yeah, that's the page! this little beauty comes to you straight out of ./drivers/dax, dated October 2026, and it's part of the Kernel API Manual πŸ“š. hope that all made sense bestie, love you, bye!! πŸŽ€πŸ’–βœ¨
