💅 dma_resv_iter_end(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, this is the page for dma_resv_iter_end and honestly it's a short one but it's lowkey important, so pay attention 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

dma_resv_iter_end — cleanup a dma_resv_iter object

like, you're done with your iterator, so now you tidy up. main character energy: leaving things cleaner than you found them 🧹💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void dma_resv_iter_end (struct dma_resv_iter *cursor );

no return value, she returns nothing, she just does the thing 🫶

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • cursor — the dma_resv_iter object which should be cleaned up. like, this exact one. the iterator you're done with. not a different one, bestie, this one 🌸

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Make sure that the reference to the fence in the cursor is properly dropped. 🔥

that's it. that's the whole job. you call this and the fence ref inside your cursor gets dropped correctly instead of just... vibing there forever and leaking. we love a clean drop, no cap 💅✨

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

so if you wanna go deeper (and you should, iykyk), the Kernel file is ./include/linux/dma-resv.h — that's the home base for all of this 🌈

the whole friend group:

okay that's literally the entire squad, go read them, they ate 👑

fr fr though: begin it, use it, then end it. the reference to the fence gets dropped properly — that's the whole point, don't skip it 🙈

and that's the page!! brought to you from ./include/linux, the Kernel API Manual version October 2026, filed under dma_resv_iter_end(9) — mwah, go forth and drop your refs responsibly 💜🦋🍓
