✨ drm_dev_unplug(9) ✨

okay bestie, this is the drm_dev_unplug(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s lowkey giving hotplug main-character energy 🫶💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_dev_unplug — unplug a DRM device ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void drm_dev_unplug (struct drm_device *dev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — DRM device. That’s the one, bestie 💖

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This unplugs a hotpluggable DRM device, which makes it inaccessible to userspace operations. Entry-points can use drm_dev_enter and drm_dev_exit to protect device resources in a race free manner. This essentially unregisters the device like drm_dev_unregister, but can be called while there are still open users of dev. periodt 💅

ngl, that “still open users of dev” part is the whole vibe — it’s not your average unregister situation, bestie 👑
