📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 devm_reset_control_get_exclusive_released — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about a little function called devm_reset_control_get_exclusive_released. the header truncates it to devm_reset_...ive_released(9) but we know her full name, she's iconic like that 💖

✨ NAME ✨

devm_reset_control_get_exclusive_released — the resource-managed version of reset_control_get_exclusive_released(). she's the same girl but with cleanup handled for you, no cap 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct reset_control * devm_reset_control_get_exclusive_released (struct
device *dev , const char *id );

that's the whole signature babe, exactly like that, don't come for me 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • dev — the device that's gonna be reset by the controller 🌀 like, this is the one getting the reset treatment
  • id — the reset line name 🌸 literally just the name of the reset line, that's it

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so this is the managed version of reset_control_get_exclusive_released. 💖 and "managed" here is doing real work, watch this:

for any reset controllers that come back out of this function, reset_control_put gets called automatically on driver detach. 😭 no manual cleanup, no leaks, she handles herself. main character energy fr fr.

if you want the full lore, go read reset_control_get_exclusive_released — this one literally points you there. iykyk 📖✨

lowkey important: the automatic reset_control_put on detach is the whole point of the devm_ prefix, so don't be out here calling reset_control_put yourself on top of it unless the docs tell you to 🫶

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay this list is LONG but every single one is here, i did not skip a crumb 🍓
