dprc_remove(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… dprc_remove(9) β€” like, the DPRC unbind callback, bestie

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes, the kernel has lore too) and it's about dprc_remove β€” the callback that gets invoked when a DPRC is being unbound from this driver ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

dprc_remove β€” callback invoked when a DPRC is being unbound from this driver

like literally it's the "you're leaving?? okay bye, let me tidy up" function 🫢


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

void dprc_remove (struct fsl_mc_device *mc_dev );

that's it. that's the whole signature. no cap πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • mc_dev β€” Pointer to fsl_mc_device representing the DPRC. it's giving "the whole device, in one pointer" πŸ‘‘

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

so when this gets called, here's the whole cleanup arc, main character energy only:

  • It removes the DPRC's child objects from Linux β€” not from the MC, important distinction, don't mix that up πŸ™ˆ
  • It closes the DPRC device in the MC.
  • It tears down the interrupts that were configured for the DPRC device ⚑
  • It destroys the interrupt pool associated with this MC bus.

it's a full teardown, like when the group chat goes quiet and everyone logs off. iconic, honestly πŸ’€βœ¨


πŸ’œ SEE ALSO πŸ’œ

Kernel file ./drivers/bus/fsl-mc/dprc-driver.c β€” go read it, iykyk πŸ“–

it's a whole family, honestly. the dprc cinematic universe 🌈


mwah πŸ’‹ this page lives in ./drivers/bus/fsl-mc, dated October 2026, and it's still dprc_remove(9) β€” go off, king πŸ‘‘
