💅 devm_reset_...ive_released(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a mouthful and the title literally got truncated by the manpage gremlins, but we move. It's the page for devm_reset_control_bulk_get_optional_exclusive_released, and yes, that is a real function name and yes, I'm obsessed with how unhinged it is 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

devm_reset_control_bulk_get_optional_exclusive_released — the resource-managed glow-up of reset_control_bulk_optional_get_exclusive_released() 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int devm_reset_control_bulk_get_optional_exclusive_released (struct
       device *dev , int num_rstcs , struct reset_control_bulk_data *rstcs );

that's the whole vibe. three args, one int back, no cap 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • dev — the device that's getting reset by the controller. it's the main character here 👑
  • num_rstcs — how many entries live in the rstcs array. like, how many besties are we grabbing 🍓
  • rstcs — an array of struct reset_control_bulk_data, with the reset line names already set. names in, resets out 💖

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So this is the managed version of reset_control_bulk_optional_get_exclusive_released. For any reset controllers you get back from this function, reset_control_put gets called automatically on driver detach — like, you don't have to do the cleanup yourself, the kernel handles it for you. periodt 🧚

For more deets, go see reset_control_bulk_optional_get_exclusive_released — this one isn't trying to explain everything twice.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

It's giving "linked list of every reset function in the tree" and honestly the way that it just keeps going 😭 but here's the full squad, all of them:

ok real talk: the function name is longer than most of my attention span and I still read the whole thing 💀 read the referenced page if you actually need the behaviour deets — this page is just the vibes-and-signature girlie 💜

that's the whole page bestie, no notes 🫶 this lil doc lives in ./include/linux and it's dated October 2026. now go forth and let the kernel reset_control_put for you automatically, mwah 💋🌸
